II Corinthians 4:8-10
Excerpted from: Conviction, Moses and UsWas the life of God manifested in what Moses was doing? You had better believe it was!
All of us have similar experiences and go through difficult trials. That is what he is talking about there—being hard pressed, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair. Everybody with whom God is working is going to be going through those things. Like Moses, we see problems that need to be resolved. He knew that Israel had to be freed, and he tried to resolve it.
We find ourselves, then, in afflictions, in persecution, in perplexity. At times, we do not understand. Like Moses, we find ourselves in solitude, alone—even in a family.
II Corinthians 4:8-9
Excerpted from: It's Enough! Now, Lord, Take My Life!When this happens, we must - despite how difficult things may seem - hold on to God and His way of life, not letting go even unto death. Despite his many hardships, the apostle Paul relied on God and did not let himself get depressed for very long, if at all. Now look at what he told the Corinthians.
Now flip over to Philippians 4, verse 10. Paul had many reasons to get discouraged. His letters and the book of Acts record many of his unpleasant predicaments, yet he did not let adverse circumstances depress him. After five shipwrecks, he did not let it get to him. I am still bewildered at that one.
