Description

This book emphasizes the fact that a true faith in God can be accompanied through good works and wisdom heart from above. Let me point out that goods works do not prove a person’s belief in God or relationship with Him, but having faith and a wisdom heart always leads to good works. Faith and a wisdom heart have to come first because when good works are done with wisdom heart from God, God always gets the glory. Every step in our lives is for the purpose of drawing us closer, conforming us to the image of Christ. Hardship is the tool which seems to best accomplish this goal. We all might prefer that God would shape us through praise and blessings, but we seem to respond best to hardship, It all part of the processes to grow in the Lord. It is hardship which reminds us of our dependence on God when we’ve begun to trust in our own abilities and understanding. It’s hardship which brings us back to our knees in prayer after long seasons of silence. Its hardship which develops the character of a mature believer: remember James said “Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything” (James 1:2-4). As difficult as this truth may be to accept and understand, part of God’s plan is for us to experience some hardship. Not all hardship can be said to come from God, but in our lost and fallen world where we come to God filled with pride and arrogance, hardship is often the only way to humble our spirit and soften our heart. Our Heavenly Father loves us enough to do whatever it takes to draw us closer to His side – even when this means being strengthened by hardship. Watch out for the Part II of this book (MY GOD, MY LIFE). Coming out soon!!
