Devotional
It takes a proper understanding of certain life’s principles for a person to begin to see difficulties in a new light. We’re raised with a common notion that difficulty is a menace, one shouldn’t crave for. But come to think of it, it’s not everything we branded as difficulty is actually one. Some issues we encounter are there to checkmate and reposition us, they are designed to move us forward.
Key Scripture
When you go through deep waters, I will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown. When you walk through the fire of oppression, you will not be burned up; the flames will not consume you.Isaiah 43:2 NLT
Refreshing for the Day
There are patches of unwholesome attitude that God is using difficulties to rub off our life.
Beloved, just like gold needs to go through fire to shine; likewise, your story must be fine-tuned, emancipated and released into your glory. It may be uncomfortable, you may not like it, but it’s a necessity you must embrace. So, the next time you begin to experience any difficulty in your life, don’t just pray it away, begin to see new light in it. Search to know what it’s meant to address, be open to admit it and effect the corrections. Also note that if it doesn’t have a purpose, God wouldn’t allowed it in your life. Stay Lifted!
