How do you handle Adversity?

Many times our thoughts say one thing, but our actions show something totally different. It is easy to think that you are in control of "you," but under the right circumstances, "you" become someone totally different than who "you" thought.

How do you handle adversity when it knocks on the door of your personality and spirituality? What is so different about the way you confront adversity now as opposed to maybe 4 years ago? Let's have an open and honest discussion!

P.S. Here some helpful references...Joseph never complained about the situation but pressed his way through adversity. Jesus never complained...although He did ask for the cup to pass from Him, but He also cried "nevertheless," and pressed His way through the adversity.

Advancing through Adversity

Last night in Bible Class we discussed the story of Joseph and his dreams (Genesis 37) that he shared with his brother and father/mother. His discussion about his dream seemingly caused strife among his brothers and caused them to plot and kill him. The coat of many colors was one thing, but when the dream was shared, then the adversity within the family seemingly intensified.

What are your thoughts on this story of Adversity and what are your opinions on why such adversity existed in Joseph's life? Also feel free to talk about his advancing as well.
