Times of Trouble: The Character Curriculum
The “new age” thinking of quantum mechanics and the law of attraction would have you believe that bad things don’t have to happen if you “will” it not to or we get the deepest desire of our dominant thoughts, both what we want and don’t want.
Well, this is only partly accurate. We do get what we send out of our dominant thoughts or believe in faith, however, trials will come because we live in a fallen world, period. The bible says:” and when troubles come…” not IF.
Your character is like a sword forged by the pounding pressure of life tempered by the flames of circumstance.
Life is an adventure filled with suffering and sacrifice, trials and triumphs, adversity and opportunity, all of which at its core, has one purpose; character development. You choose how you come out of the fire.
The bible clearly points out that there will be suffering and trials but the bible also promises the development of character and victory if we count it all joy. (Romans 5:3-4, 1 Thessalonians 3:3, James 1:2 and 1 Peter 1:6) until next week!
