> Practical Family Living

Has it occurred to you that we need challenge? God provides challenge because we often need practice turning to Him in our fears. Turning to God helps us grow in trust and in determination to watch for how He is going to work things out. Of course we can create our own challenges because we are bored or because we feel empty without doom and gloom or crisis. Even then, the Lord is loving in showing us, if we are open to seeing it, how we can be our worst enemy. If we turn toward Him we benefit as we learn to trust Him and watch for His way through. A good challenge either way is a great teacher in the hands of our loving Heavenly Father.
