"I will use them to test Israel and see whether they will keep the way of the Lord and walk in it as their forefathers did." Judges 2:22
Certain trials and temptations never seem to go away. No matter how much we think we have grown, there are enemies lurking around every corner.
Why doesn't God simply remove them?
God allows circumstances - not to make us fall, but to test us - to teach us to turn to Him.
Lord, there are times that I wish all the challenges I face would simply disappear. Yet without them, I would grow lazy and complacent. Sometimes I fail. But without the chance to try, I learn nothing. Help me to keep Your way. Help me to walk in it, so when trials come, we will succeed together.
