Proverbs 24:10 KJV — If thou faint in the day of adversity, thy strength is small.
Paraphrase of Bishop TD Jakes:
When some of you are in here crying about a problem you’ve had for a weekend, when we’re praising God while dealing with a problem we’ve had for a lifetime…we lose respect for you.
Adversity isn’t a reason to faint.
Adversity is the stage for your courage and tenacity to be displayed.
Greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world.
