Topic: He Uses Our Difficulties!
Text: 2 Corinthians 12: 10
“That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.” Amen
We all face difficult situations occassionally. It may be possible you are going through one right now. Either you, your colleague, superior or relative isn’t treating you fairly or your business /academics is not growing as fast as you had hoped. Some of us are in marriages /relationships that are becoming sour and mouldy while others are praying for the right partner to no avail yet.
Anytime we face such fustration, anxiety easily sets in. This happens especially when we don’t understand why we are to go through those trying moments. We also question why it’s taking so long to have positive results.
However, the fact that we feel uncomfortable about our situation does not mean it may not be part of God’s approved plan for our lives. The truth is, God always uses these challenges to produce in us godliness. So we can be steadfast in our faith, knowledgeable in His Word, humble in His service, patient with His promises and totally dependent on Him for all victories.
Be comforted therefore by the fact that God will not allow a difficulty your way unless He has a plan for it to better your life, and also knows you can handle it.
So stop worrying and complaining at the least obstacle and make the choice of staying positive through it all. Depend on the Holy Spirit for strength and you will see how He moves you higher into glory. Begin to pray now! Tell yourself: when I am weak, then I am strong!
For all that life brings your way, keep Jesus at the center of your joy. Click: https://youtu.be/85tvVybU0cY
