Life is full of epic challenges and obstacles, and we must find ways to overcome them. Some obstacles in life are small and easy, but some may seem nearly impossible. Life’s obstacles can bring fear. When we come to those obstacles and they look scary, we may wonder how in the world we can possibly conquer them.

Often, God will give us things in life to test us. Such testing is designed for us to be strengthened. Every time we do any type of exercise, we are strengthening our bodies. We actually strengthen our muscles by tearing them down. Most exercises are developed in a way that tears down Ju so that our bodies can rebuild stronger. That’s the whole purpose of an exercise, and such is the same in our spiritual lives.

We serve a God who will never allow something major in our lives that can’t help us. He won’t allow any tragedy into our lives that can’t be used for our benefit. He can take something that is terrible and work it out to where it is a blessing in the long run.

It may be disturbing at the beginning and discouraging but in the long run it will be worth it. He loves you and doesn’t want you to go through things you can’t handle. In that sense, if you are going through something now, it means you have the capacity to handle it, just dig in deep and find it.
