TODAY’S WORD from Joel and Victoria
|
|
Some of the things you may be
praying about, if God were to remove them right now, you wouldn’t be prepared
for where He is taking you. You’ve got to let God do the work in you. In
other words, be kind to the people who are not treating you right. Keep being
your best even though you’re not getting the credit. Have a good attitude
even though you’re in an apartment and all your friends are in a nice house.
Pass those tests.
Paul prayed in Colossians 3
that the people would have the strength to endure whatever came their way. He
didn’t pray that God would deliver them instantly or remove the difficulty.
He prayed that they would have the strength to go through it with a good
attitude. Paul understood this principle that God uses the tough times to get
us prepared for the next level.
Today, if you are in a
difficult situation, God wants to do a work in you. Surrender to Him.
Surrender to His process. Obey His commands, and He’ll see you through to
victory!
