Trusting in Christ

Again I've been inspired by Spurgeon to write a blog. This morning's devotion was on how people wish so badly during hardships to die to be with Christ. When in reality they just don't want to be in the midst of this difficult problem. They don't want to deal with it. I know that sometimes when there is a trial that I'm going through at one point or another; the thought does cross my mind that it would be so much better if I were with Christ at that moment. Spurgeon says that to be Christ is a wonderful thing, but to wish that because you are in some sort of trouble is selfish. We should try to glorify God in our trials and set examples for unbelievers of the hope that we have in Christ instead of thinking like they do, "Woe is me." Also, God is the one that chooses when our time has come ... and he won't give us more trials and hardships than we can handle.
