God challenges us for good reasons. Like the loving Father He is, He wants to see His children grow stronger and climb higher in the Spirit. He knows that challenges make us press beyond the routines of our daily existence. He knows that challenges often make us cry out to Him for help, and that's a cry He wants to hear. Whether we totally achieve the goal set before us isn't always the issue. What matters is that we give our best, and when we do that God fills in the rest. The truth is challenges bring spiritual growth and strength, and that is something which will benefit us all. As we strive and strain, struggle and push to meet the challenges God puts before us, we will mature in God's wisdom and strength. These are things money can't buy.
