Michael Jordan is widely regarded as the greatest sports legend of all time, but his early career was full of adversity. Eventually, talent and willpower won out. But some adversity can’t be overcome by willpower or talent. Some adversity simply plants itself in our lives and stays there. What do we do then?
The Bible has the answer for us, and it’s an appropriate one for the holiday we will celebrate this week. The Pilgrims faced great adversity upon their arrival in the new world, yet they did not forget to give thanks. As counterintuitive as it seems, we also are to be thankful, even as we face the harshest of tribulations.
Dr. D. James Kennedy explains in his message: “Giving Thanks in Adversity.”
