George Muller said, "Adversity is a classroom in which we can learn more of Christ and become more like Him."
Troubles prompt us to rely more on God in ways that we wouldn’t otherwise. Very often than not, we are faced with problems and pressures that are too big for us to resolve. In this way, God gets our attention. Paul wrote, “Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ’s sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong” (II Corinthians 12:7–10). One of the ultimate purposes of trials is to cause us to desire more of Christ in our lives. Trials reveal that on our own we can’t live in a way that honours God. We need to rely on God and need His grace every step of the way.
