Hold On...

Our experiences in life changes just like the weather conditions. At different times we are faced with either pleasurable or harrowing conditions. Sometimes we experience heat-warming success, at other times we experience heart-rending failures. Sometimes there is much joy and laughter, at other times there is much sorrow and sighing. Sometimes we bubble with life and health, other times we are over taken by sickness. Sometimes we enjoy prosperity with plenty, other times we endure lack and hunger.

A lot of persons change with their changing circumstances. When the going gets good, they are elated and highly spirited, but when they get hit by an ugly circumstance, everything goes down completely. They lose the glee and gladness they once had when everything was favorable to them.  Most Christians do same. They love and obey God, go to church and do all manner of religious activities when things are all rosy, when there are no challenges, and turn against Him when things get rough. For some they only remember that there is a man called Jesus when the storms of life is raging and quickly forget Him after the storm is calm.

What stands you out as a TRUE Christian is your ability to hold on even when it seems like all is coming down on you. This is one of the reasons our brother

James told us to count it all joy when we go through times like this, knowing that what we are going through is working something in and for us. It is extremely difficult not to bend under certain trials and tests, especially when you are relying on your human ability little wonder the scripture tells us that by strength no man can prevail. The greatest secret to overcoming or holding on in times of trouble is having and unbroken fellowship with God, and a desperate practical love for Him. YOU WILL COME OUT VICTORIOUS.
