When life gets hard, sometimes we can ask God why? But I believe if we hold fast to God during adversity, it really is a means of drawing us closer to God.

It’s like this apple on the stick. You’d think that when the stick is being pounded that the shaking would cause the apple to drop to the counter. But no, it climbs up. Let us all hold to God and climb closer to Him when adversity strikes in our lives.

In Numbers 32:23 it tells us that, “Be sure your sin will find you out.”

We think we can get away with our sins. It’s like the water that’s poured into the empty aluminum cans. No one sees it. We just continue on with life, assuming that everything’s fine. But God sometimes brings situations into our lives where the truth comes out, and we can be crushed by the sins that we’ve committed.

So often when we think about God dealing with our sins, we imagine a very harsh hand. But God tells us in Isaiah 42:3 that “a bruised reed He will not break”.

God desires to remove sins from our lives. I’m thankful that He doesn’t tackle everything at the same time. It’s often like this video where the yolks are removed one at a time with very gentle pressure. Sin can make a mess of our lives, even a little. Did you know that egg whites will not whip up correctly even with a little bit of the yolk left in it?
