having faith

Todays sermon was about having faith. In times of trouble and struggle. If you have faith in the lord everything will turn out well. Alot of the time I try and have faith but its hard sometimes. It seems that some people struggle more then others. Why is that? For example one guy may struggle in school, work, money problems, etc. While the next guy doesnt seem to struggle at all good job, does well in school, etc.

"If you have faith in the lord everything will turn out well."
Maybe not my friend. I know of a solid Christian lady who was diagnosed with cancer. Her husband got saved and begged God daily with tears to save his wife. His wife spent nearly all of her hours reading, confessing and believing God for a miracle. She radiated with the glory of God. She was a fine teacher. She died at about 52 years old.It brought about salvation to her husband but not everything works out always the way that we would like it too. We have His promice that He is always with us through our ordeals. Sometimes things work out the way we would like and sometimes not. Daily there are faith believing Christinas who are dying in the middle east for their faith. Our circumstances are to bring us closer to God.

WHY IS THAT ??WHY ARE WE DIFFERENT??

We are made up of different DNA, we have been raised differently, our intellectual IQs are different. We have various background expereinces .
We all carry some sort of baggage handed down by our fore fathers. We are different. My wife andI have totally different struggles.What is easy for me is hard for her and vise versa. You do however have gifts and talents. Find out what they are and use them fo rth eglory of God. Focus on what your positives are and not your negatives are. Thanks God for the brains you have.I've worked with students who had IQs of 20.I had to feed them. Their annual goal was to give eye contact to the person talking with them. Their food had to be blended because they did not have sense to chew. You are much better off than these I'm sure. An IQ of 20 is 10 months old. Thank God for your 100 plus.
