Remain pliable

   As Christians or followers of Christ, we are constantly subject to testing and trials that tend to push us to our limits. Often times leaving us feeling very uncomfortable and vulnerable. Our response to these trials is that we must remain pliable, not limiting ourselves to what we understand or see going on around us. God does not limit His work to one single section of our lives. He is constant in all of it, where we cannot see and where we can see. Though we ourselves have the ability only to see what is before us, we are not to worry about what is going on behind. We just need to maintain our faith in that what we have been learning is for a reason. No matter how hard, or how stressful those days are, there is always a brighter future ahead. God always has our back no matter what battle we are facing. It is our job to take the next step He has put in front of us. However small a step, or however big a step, and more often than not, it is the ones that must take the smallest steps that travel the greatest distance, the ones that face the most hardship that become the strongest. Developing endurance instead of speed, patience over haste, and boldness over timidity.

Psalm 34:19
The righteous person may have many troubles, but the Lord delivers him from them all;

    It has always been that satan likes to tear us down when we are learning at our greatest points, or when we feel most comfortable in the Lords presence. Doing everything he possibly can to tear down what God has built up within us. There is no doubt that he will use whatever our weakest point is. This is why we must constantly be in connection with our Father. Always talking, praying and conversing with him our day to day struggle. He will never fail to deliver us through what difficulties we experience. But we must remain pliable to Him for learning, moving past what we may want to learn and focus on what is being taught. I myself can get very impatient when learning something because I tend to just want the answer instead of seeking out the process of the answer. We must realize in humility that we are being taught, and through that lending our lives to His will in trust and fearlessness. letting go of our life and giving it to Him without worry.
