Stand Strong during Adversity

 

 

Put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground (Ephesians 6:13).

 

We all face challenges and difficult times. God doesn’t send these storms, but it’s in these times of difficulty that we grow and become stronger. It is an opportunity to allow God’s Word to come alive in your life and see you through to victory. You can’t run from everything that’s hard in your life and expect God to deliver you immediately. God uses these challenges to stretch you and enlarge your vision.

 

Remain faithful during your time of adversity. Make up your mind to serve God no matter what comes against you, and God will honor you. Fight the good fight of faith. Remember, God will not waste anything you go through in life. You are growing. You are maturing. You are being prepared for promotion. Simply remain faithful and fight life through by speaking His Word, guarding your heart and mind by meditating on His Word day and night, and seek to walk in love with everyone. In due season, in God’s appointed time, He will promote you to new levels of victory, and you’ll live that abundant life that He has promised you!

 

Prayer for Today:

Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for making me strong through adversity. I thank You that because You are faithful to me, I can be faithful to You. Give me Your wisdom to make the right decisions today and the strength to stand strong no matter what life brings, to Your glory, honor, praise, and thanksgiving, in Jesus’ mighty name!
