Personal from Herbert W Armstrong - SOME seem to think God's people never encounter difficulties, meet trials or tests, but are blessed continually with smooth sailing! In conducting this great, important, always-growing worldwide Work of God, I, personally, have not had "smooth sailing," or continuous easy going. I have encountered repeated trials and tests. There have been critical crises. There has been persecution. There has been opposition. Obstacles have had to be hurdled frequently. Problems constantly require solution. It has required faith, perseverance, determination, constant prayer for guidance. Does the Bible teach smooth sailing for true Christians whom God is using? Did the men of God, whose lives pleased God, as recorded in the Bible, have only an easy time of it, or were they constantly meeting trials, tests, troubles of every sort - being continually forced to cry out to God for deliverance? - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
