What Helps Believers Survive Life's Troubles?

There are basically two paths to follow in life. The easiest is the self-directed way which consists of deciding what you want and then following  your instincts and intuitions to bring to fruition these desires. The most difficult path to follow is the one directed by the Holy Spirit.

This way – Jesus Christ is held up as "the way, the truth, and the life." Psalm 119:59-60 from the Good News Bible states: “I have considered my conduct, and I promise to follow your instructions. Without delay I hurry to obey your commands.” Have you made this turn in your life?

When God’s way is chosen, he gives wisdom and understanding for managing each situation. Listen to Psalm 37:39: “The salvation of the righteous comes from the Lord, who is their stronghold in times of trouble.” Faith and confidence are strengthened as you experience the presence of God in times of trouble.
