I just wanted to share a little encouragement with everyone if
you're facing some challenges in your life right now?
If you are, rejoice! “Count it all joy when you fall into various trials,
knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. Let
patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and
complete, lacking nothing.” (James 1:2-4)
We all know that athletes need endurance training for physical
stamina and mental toughness. When game time arrives, he or she
will be ready to do battle and will have a greater chance at
victory. If the athlete does not go through the necessary
preparedness, he or she may not even be allowed into the game.
Do we really think we can just ask God for some great position in
life with out any preparation? Not hardly. Read Psalm 107. This
chapter tells us that God sometimes brings storms into our lives
to accomplish a purpose in us. And that purpose, I believe, is to
prepare us for greater things.
If you’re facing challenges today, ask God to hold you up,
strengthen you, and help you learn what He is trying to teach
you. “Blessed is He who endures.” (James 1:12)
Please keep in mind that not all storms in our lives are from
God. Many times, we can create our own storms by making poor
decisions. The best thing to do in these cases is to ask God to
help you learn from your mistakes.
God can use your own storms to teach you things and use them to
bring you increase. “All things work together for good to them
who love the Lord and are called according to His purpose.”
(Romans 8:28)
Be encouraged if things are not what you think they should be.
God has a wonderful plan for your life and He may just be working
on the inside of you right now. God is faithful to His word!
Remember, “The desire of the righteous shall be granted”
(Proverbs 10:24).
