[The Glory Unveiled]
If thou faint in the day of adversity, thy strength is small. [ Proverbs 24:10 KJV ]
There is a day of adversity that visits everyone, one way or the other. Adversities are not always the signposts of curses or punishment from God. Adversities sometimes come just to test our ability and strength. The human world is a place full of different kinds of currencies, among which is strength. But just as all currencies can be spent, strength is exhaustive too. Currencies are spent when there is a need; they are meant to meet our needs. But if a need arises and a particular currency couldn’t meet it, then it means we don’t have enough of the currency needed to meet that need. Strength is developed when we remain faithful under pressure and spent or needed in times of adversity. But when we faint where we should be strong, it means we are bankrupt of strength. Adversity is an indicative need for strength, even when that adversity is not knocking at our own doors but that of others. There’s a saying that if you fail to help others in their time of need, you will grow too weak to help yourself. Helping people is not a burden, it’s an opportunity. It offers the privilege to grow strong from practicing with other people’s challenges. So that when our own challenges arise, we already know how to handle them. While strength is spent on adversities, it is replenished when we remain faithful under pressure. The daily challenges and confrontations we face refine and define us. You see, confrontations are not bad, they are the raw materials that make us who we ought to be. Everyday, the world throws challenges at us. But strength, forged from resilience and remaining faithful under pressure is the key that frees our souls from weary.
