How To Face Difficult Situation

What's a person to do? Heed to scriptural words of "count it all joy when you fall into grievous testings." Instead of reacting in the flesh, react in the spirit by learning to praise our Creator in the circumstances. Not for them, but in them. There is a difference!

There are some circumstances in life for which we cannot give thanks or "count it all joy." But there are no circumstances in which we cannot count it all joy or give thanks to Him as what you believe. The key regardless of temperament, is the direction of our look if we look only at the problem, which is normal, we will respond according to our temperament. If, however, we look to our Creator then we will respond according to the scriptural power within us.

Again, one thing to keep in mind in evaluating the effects of a person's temperament on his spiritual life is the fact that all people are a combination of two or more temperaments.

Men are different as we have seen, in regarding to their temperament. Consequently, they will have temperament-induced weakness patterns. The same is true for women. But there is one area that men seem more vulnerable to than women and vice versa.

Financial vocation of a man: nothing seems to test a man's faith more than financial pressure or economic loss or change. Our Creator has not only commanded man to be the principle breadwinner and protector of his family; he seems to have wired him psychologically so that anytime he is threatened in those two areas, it is a threat to his spiritual life. Worry, insecurity, anxiety, and frustration may grip him, causing his reactions to compound his problems.

Meanwhile economical threats can actually strengthen a man if he turns immediately to our Creator for His power and help.

Always act wisely!
