Abraham lied. Jacob deceived. Moses doubted. Jeremiah wept. Elijah feared. David murdered. These great men of our faith all had difficult times of weakness and struggle. Who are we? – when we get weary and complain during our struggles? No one is immune to struggle. As Christians, struggles represent our faith being tested. How we lift Christ up through the struggle is the key. All of us have seasons. We tend to hold onto things longer than it is good for us. This lack of surrender is a sign of control issues. Everything good and perfect belongs to God. He freely gave them to us from the beginning. We can only claim our sin and the repercussions of our sin. But even with our sin, God found a way to redeem and save us from ourselves. His name is Jesus! Hallelujah!
