ADVERSITY

‘I will lie down and sleep in peace’

Psalm 4:8

As you drive towards your destiny you will hit potholes and take wrong turns; the only way to avoid the course is to never leave your driveway.

Misfortune comes of itself and finds its way even on the darkest night. It comes to all men. It is not that which can be avoided, but that which cannot. It comes at undetermined times; its arrival cannot be pinpointed beforehand. It arrives on horseback but departs on foot and appears to never come singly. As they say, ‘it never rains but it pours’; ‘of one ill comes many’; ‘ill comes often on the back of worse’.

Nevertheless, adversity has some value about which there are many wise sayings: adversity they say ‘makes a man wise, not rich’; ‘brings experience and experience brings wisdom’; ‘it comes with instruction in its hand’; ‘no man better knows what good is than he who endured evil’

Prayer: God I am not counting on my strength but on you.

ADVICE

‘Go to the end, you slaggard consider its way’

Proverbs 6:6

One of the biggest
