The Woman of God vs. hardships of life


The Woman of God vs. hardships of life

What truly helps us in times of hardship is our relationship and trust in the one true God.

Who has not faced tribulations or crossed the deserts in this life? If your answer is 'no', unfortunately I have bad news for you: They will still happen and if your answer is 'yes', other news: Thank God for your strength to remain, but unfortunately, other deserts will come.

The truth is that while we have this body and live in this world, we are subject to a variety of problems, situations, injustices, humiliations, and many other things, but when we are in dependence on God, He strengthens us, renews us and prepares us to remain on this road until the end.

The true test of walking in the spirit is not the way we act, but how we react to the frustrations of everyday life, which is to show we are strong and never look back.

We see a great example of a woman who went through tribulations. Naomi lost her husband, her children, but kept her faith in the God of Israel and supported her daughter-in-law, Ruth, who also had a deep spiritual insight, following her mother-in-law to a land she did not know or had any relatives in, and said:
“Where you go I'll go. Where you stay I'll stay. Your people will be my people. Your God will be my God. Where you die I'll die. And there my body will be buried. I won't let anything except death separate you from me. If I do, may the Lord punish me greatly."
Imagine the wonderful witness of faith that this woman of God, Naomi, passed on to her daughter-in-law, to the point that she was willing to follow her to her land, and say "your God will be my God..." Even though, the first instance of blaming God for her suffering, but same as today, we see that we endure suffering and cross the deserts because they are necessary for God’s plan to be fulfilled in our lives, and when we pass the test of fire, we can exude a sweet aroma for the Lord.

Two women, facing great tribulations in life, who maintained an unwavering faith for years in the midst of difficult circumstances, which shows the wisdom and vision of their faith in their God.

God uses the loyalty of simple women to fulfill his extraordinary plans in the lives of those who need the power of God.

I always thought I would grow by learning with others, I have learned a lot, but to really remain, we must cross the deserts that make us strong as mountains.

It is only in the deserts, where great men and women of God are created who then become light to this world.

“So do not throw away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded. You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised. For, in just a little while, he who is coming will come and will not delay. But my righteous one will live by faith. And I take no pleasure in the one who shrinks back. But we do not belong to those who shrink back and are destroyed, but to those who have faith and are saved.” (Hebrews 10:35-39)
