When times get tough, how do we react? Do we remember that God wants to shape us into His image? When we go through life’s trials, do remember that:

 “In all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose” (Romans 8:28)?

Or do we push aside the higher purposes of our lives? Instead of getting upset when trouble comes knocking, we should drop to our knees and praise the Lord through life’s stroms. Instead of complainting when things don’t go our way, we should give each situation to God. He can turn our problems into blessings.
