“DO NOT RESIST OR RUN from the difficulties in your life. These problems are not random mistakes; they are hand-tailored blessings designed for your benefit and growth. Embrace all the circumstances that Christ, The LORD allows in your life, trusting HIM to bring good out of them. View problems as opportunities to rely more fully on The LORD. When you start to feel stressed, let those feelings alert you to your need for GOD. Thus, your needs become doorways to deep dependence on Christ and increasing intimacy between you and GOD. Although self-sufficiency is acclaimed in the world, reliance on The LORD produces abundant living in HIS kingdom. Thank GOD for the difficulties in your life, since they provide protection from the idolatry of self-reliance.”
“I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.” JOHN 15 : 5
We do not want you to be uninformed, brothers, about the hardships we suffered in the province of Asia. We were under great pressure, far beyond our ability to endure, so that we despaired even of life. Indeed, in our hearts we felt the sentence of death. But this happened that we might not rely on ourselves but on God, who raises the dead. 2 CORINTHIANS 1 : 8 – 9
. . . always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. EPHESIANS 5 : 20
Prayer: Lord, help me to embrace all the circumstances that you allow in my life, trusting you to bring good out of them for my benefit and growth. And to see them as opportunities to rely more fully on you. I trust you Jesus. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
