Let us discuss how we can endure while we are facing challenges. These are a part of our lives. To bear the tough times, we need to read the Bible, which will give us strength and joy. Many people in the Bible faced challenges, but through their faith in God, they were victorious.
The story of David and Goliath teaches us many lessons. David was a shepherd boy, and he was very young. He did not know about the soldiers. He had no skill as a soldier, either. But he had strong faith in God. Through his faith, he defeated Goliath. This story encourages us to trust God while we face challenges.
The book of Esther gives us another example where the entire Jewish nation was put to death. Esther and her people fasted for three days, which changed the entire scenery. Later, Haman was killed, and the people of Israel were saved. This gives us a lesson that facing challenges is part of life, but handling them with the power of God is the only key to being successful.
In times of facing challenges, we need to trust God and read his scripture. This will help us to get strength from the Lord. Our faith has power, and the Lord will do his work in his time.
