Indeed, adversity strengthens genuine faith because it causes believers to cling solely to God -knowing that it is only through His strength that they can withstand the storm. We get more than we can handle all the time, so that we rely on God to carry us through.

What is most surprising is that God suggested Job...he offered him to Satan to demonstrate Job's dedication to his faith. God already knew that Job could handle anything Satan could pile on. God already knew. When we are faced with trials and troubles God already knows what we can handle. Maybe this is why we should: "Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds" James 1:2Pamelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02770898936799604859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4094248114996261058.post-78660300644246153002015-03-06T23:06:54.375-06:002015-03-06T23:06:54.375-06:00Job 2:10, "He replied, you are talking like a...Job 2:10, "He replied, you are talking like a foolish woman. Shall we accept good from God, and not trouble?"<br /><br />It is very easy to praise God on our good days, but how about the bad ones? I have not, and hope to not have a day as bad as Job's, but if I do, I hope I can remember his response in his time of suffering and apply it in my life.

We just need to be with them and help when opportunity presents itself. I enjoy visiting, but their is a time to just be quit and wait, and enjoy the company of those I'm with.
