What does the Bible say about life struggles?
Life reserves us many moments of pain, and in these moments, we need to understand that trials are necessary so that we can win and declare victory.
The best achievements come through many struggles and battles. A man can’t be victorious without having fought. There is no victory without a fight. To achieve true success, we have to always be firm with God.
When we enter the battle, with our heads held high and straight, without lies, without shortcuts, we have honor in our victory, and no one will ever have reason to talk about us.
Winning is part of the life of the one who fights, and winning with honor is part of the life of the man who is straight in his ways. “Similarly, no athlete has crowned a winner if he does not compete according to the rules.” 2 Timothy 2:5
We can learn something new amid every situation. The apostle Paul also had illnesses and difficulties, but he learned to rejoice in the midst of them all.
They insulted him, persecuted him, he suffered greatly for the love of Christ, but he knew that God never abandoned him. Like Paul, we also have the sustaining power of God that renews our strength and helps us continue steadfast in him.
