Six Truths To Remember in Hard Times

Even though times are hard, it is important for believers to know that we play by a different set of rules. The world can do whatever it desires but the Bible shows us exactly how to get through challenging times like this.

The fact is that things may not improve in the world. But the truth remains that we have a blessed assurance that we will live and thrive no matter the circumstances.  Here are six quick truths to help you sail through these hard times victoriously:

Firstly, remember that God is your source and he will supply all your needs. Let your hope remain steadfast in the Lord and trust him to take very good care of you. He will never let you down.

_The LORD is my shepherd; I have all that I need. (Psalm 23:1)_

Secondly, remember that laziness and despair will worsen your plight. This is the time to work extra hard because hard work leads to prosperity. Put some extra effort into your work or business.

Try some new ideas to make more money. Start a backyard farm or do some petty trading. By all means think about something that can make you some additional income, get good guidance and invest into it.

_Lazy people want much but get little, but those who work hard will prosper. (Proverbs 13:4)_

Also, remember that honesty in hard times pays greatly. The temptation to grab things that are not yours in an attempt to survive will only destroy you.

Don’t give in to temptation. Though you may experience some discomfort in this season, God will eventually honor you and lift your head. The hard times will pass away and you will be glad you maintained your integrity.

_Better a dry crust eaten in peace than a house filled with feasting—and conflict. (Proverbs 17:1)_

Furthermore, be kind to your relatives, neighbours, friends and colleagues. Christians are challenged to rise to the occasion and demonstrate their love and faith in Christ during hard times.

Consider God’s goodness to you and share the same goodness with those who are not as endowed as you are. This is how God expects as love our neighbour.

_If anyone has material possessions and sees a brother or sister in need but has no pity on them, how can the love of God be in that person? Dear children, let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth. (1 John 3:17)_

To add to, be frugal in your spending. Try and cut waste at all cost. Always remember that what you are wasting could be some one’s bread. This season is not for aimless driving around looking for who to impress. Children should also be brought on board as far as this is concern.

Finally, remember to expect God’s blessings and increase. As you look up to him as your source, work very hard, maintain your integrity, and extend a hand to those who may need your help, the Lord will look down on you with immeasurable kindness and crown your efforts with great success.

_And may the Lord our God show us his approval and make our efforts successful. Yes, make our efforts successful! (Psalm 90:17)_
