There are times when God uses hard things to test us. It is easy to serve him when everything is going well, but when the going gets rough, the tough get going. Will you believe when things look bleak? Will you serve Him and love Him when you can’t see one foot in front of you? Will you praise Him like Job when all is taken away? In every situation, there is a choice to trust. We have to choose to go with God, or not. Jesus told us to take up our crosses daily and follow Him (Matthew 16:4). There is an attitude of servant-hood, of sacrifice, and of obedience in serving a king, so how much more is there in serving the Living God! When tests and trials come which will you choose: serving God to the end, or not?
