We are Christians and it’s a mistake to think that our lives will be without adversity. God is a God of love, but there are times when He allows certain situations to come to us, because after all, it is in tense moments and adversity that we grow and learn.

God’s desire is always to raise our level, both in faith, in intimacy with Him, in service, in blessings, in everything. And for this to happen, our faith, in particular, must be tested. And it’s very easy to have faith when everything is fine, but it’s when the bad day comes that’s when our faith is tested.

* Tip: Fill yourself with faith while you’re on a good day!

Because it’s inevitable, we’re going to face the bad day (John 16:33 – “In this world you will have afflictions but be of good cheer! I have overcome the world!”), the day will come when doubt, uncertainty and difficulty come, but what makes us different from the rest of the world is that we have someone to hold on to. We may be in a boat with violent waves and strong storms, but Jesus is in the boat with us. We can have the full conviction that the boat will not sink.

Moses was chosen by God to free the people of Israel from the hands of the Egyptians. When they left Egypt, the soldiers came after them to take them back as slaves. Then Moses came across the soldiers behind them and the Red Sea in front of them. He was doing God’s will and yet God allowed them to be in that situation. There were two options, actually three, either they went back to being slaves in the hands of the Egyptians, or they drowned in the Red Sea, or they trusted in God. And with trust in God, the supernatural happened, the sea opened in the middle, they passed through, and the soldiers drowned (Exodus 14:15 – “Tell the children of Israel to march. And you, lift your rod, and stretch out your hand over the sea, and divide it, that the children of Israel may pass through the midst of the sea on dry ground”).

God could also have ordered the people to take another route, where they wouldn’t come across the Red Sea. However, a story that was supposed to end in death turned into a miracle that is read and told to this day.

So, however difficult and complicated it may be, rejoice that you’re going through a bad day. On a bad day you have the opportunity to experience the supernatural with God. Supernatural that will test your faith, increase your faith and give you a testimony of the greatness of our God.
