…both Joshua and Moses went through hard times.
This is true, and in both cases, the hard times were brought about when they tried to get ahead of God. By this I mean doing something that God did not tell them to do.

Sometimes, we go through hard times because God is purposely trying to refine us and and make us stronger. Sometimes, we go through hard times in order to prepare for what he has planned next. Sometimes, both of these are true.

Regardless of the reason why, many times our hard times are brought about by our dis-obedience to God’s commands. As evidenced in many a Sinefield episode, so many of life’s problems would be avoided had we done things God’s way instead of our own.
