Facing a challenge

We usually always like what is normal, easy, and predictable. We like to be in our comfort zone, and do our will.
But when we least expect it (or want) a challenge comes along. One that takes us out of our comfort zone and puts us in an unpredictable position, which makes us feel embarrassed most of the time. We don’t feel good because it’s not our “area” of expertise.
What to do in this situation???
Challenges make us grow and strengthen our weakness.
Normally we have a tendency to develop what is already good in us, and try to hide our weakness in hope of forgetting about them.
But for those who are revolted, who don’t accept being mediocre in character and want to grow every day, challenges are great opportunities to mature and improve as a person.
How to face a challenge?
It’s not easy. At that moment thousands of feelings flair up and your head screams: “Give up!! You’ll never be able to do this. This is not for you!”
I confess that I too have often felt this way and therefore try to combat it with a weapon more powerful than my own thoughts and feelings: the Word of God.
One day King David, a young man at that time, was faced with a great challenge, perhaps the greatest that he had faced so far. And the way he reacted to this challenge serves as a lesson for me until today:
“Then David said to the Philistine, “You come to me with a sword, with a spear, and with a javelin. But I come to you in the name of the Lord of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied.” (I Samuel 17:45)
A challenge may be greater than our capacity, but CERTAINLY not greater than God!
We just have to take on the position in the battlefield, place these challenges in the hands of God and trust Him. We must do our part and never look back! He will be there to ensure that YOU overcome your challenges.

Mrs V.
I’m happy with your massage and only with one coition.That I have to understand who really am I before challenges and I’m happy I know.
There are challenges that God allows in our lives to grow us and other are meant are created by men to tear us down.The fact that they seem like same but there is huge difference God will never allow any unpassing situation even if we’re weak before men not before Him for He strengthens with our weakness.Whatever pleases men is to gain victory by putting other down.I don’t like challenges that lead me into hell.How???By end upping not knowing who I am being mock and laughing stock to others at the end the same people who don’t even care about to handle other peoples cases they are called victorious and yuo who is always stoned with bad things you’re called a failure.I think even God doesn’t like it.And I believe God have called us knowing what we can handle.How can He be happy of seeing his child facing one thing.How can people be happy to compete with someone who is overcome by one problem for more than one year imagine many years and these people say they are conquerers means they are more than failure they fight in schemes and they don’t deserve to be called children of God for they scheme in the name of hurting being happy off humiliating and putting other where they can’t even go through.An excuse that want to break others and send them to hell.But we’re called to build not to tear off.Thank you Mirs Viviane.May God bless you!That’s what we’re facing here outside!

Hi Mrs Viviane
Thank you, I understood that challenges that I face in life are to make me stronger and overcome my weaknesses. This uncomfortable situation helps us to face issues that I would normally ovoid.

It’s very true how the challenges of life will come when we least expect it but now that I’ve read your post I will try my best to make the best out of the situations because they are there to help us grow.

Very true challenges are needed in life because how you said,
Challenges make us grow and strengthen our weakness.
