Facing Adversity and Being in God’s Will Sometimes God’s will for us will find us in the middle of trials in life. That’s right. His will for our lives. More importantly, I am learning that I cannot determine whether I am in God’s will based on whether or not my life is peaceful. Just because I have trials in my life, doesnt mean I am not in the centre of God’s will for my life. I love how Alistair Begg once said it. “We should not seek to confirm God’s will by the absence of adversity.” All of these great servants of God faced persecution, heartache, and trials beyond most of our imaginations. Yet all them, during the adversity, were right where God wanted them to be, in the centre of His will. Yes, we would all like life to be peaceful. It is true that we can have inner peace and joy even in the middle of the storms of life. But God has not promised us a life free of problems. In fact, we can be perfectly within His will and still be facing adversity. It is often through the process of life’s difficulties that God makes us more like Jesus, teaches us more about Him and ourselves. I am not sure where you are right now but Trust Him today, regardless of your circumstances! He is always working a plan! Amen!
