Subject: Hardships Serve a Divine Purpose

The God of heaven is able to use the hard times we all suffer for a good purpose. These make us feel that resources here on earth are not adequate to fulfill our needs. This in turns drives those of us who are wise to seek outside this realm for help. We look to the metaphysical and spiritual realm. This is where the Holy Trinity lives. Hardships also fight the sin of pride. Pride is where we mistakenly think we are okay and good people. Such as not the case. AS the scriptures say "all of us have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." Pride is deadly. One can have a false sense of being okay, pass through death only to face a Holy God and find out we have been decieved. Tough as they, hardships really serve to maintain the health of our soul.
