That trouble may look permanent, but God is saying it’s not going to last very long. It’s not by your might, not by your power, but by the Spirit of the living God.
When you’re in the fire, you may not see what God is doing. You may not think anything is changing or improving. But you can be sure He is in there with you. The beauty of our God is He never lets you go into the fire alone.
You may have made mistakes, but that’s not who you are; that’s what you did. You are still a son, a daughter of the Most High. You are forgiven, redeemed, restored, called, equipped, chosen, and anointed.
Sometimes before it gets brighter, it gets darker. Before we see more than enough, we go through a season of not enough. There are times the good has to come to an end to make room for the best.
The Scripture says, “If you’ll acknowledge God in all your ways, He’ll crown your efforts with success." Every time God asks you to do a hard thing, that means there’s a blessing coming.
People can’t stop your destiny; closed doors can’t stop your purpose; bad breaks can’t keep you from what God has ordained. The best is coming.

When you’ve run out of options, when you don’t have any more strength, that’s when God shows up and gives you the best. That’s when He does more than you can imagine.
When you wake up in the morning, don’t meet with anyone until you first meet with God. Take time to thank Him for the day, thank Him for who He is, thank Him that He’s the giver of all good things, your protector, your provider, your healer, your way-maker.
You shouldn’t fight every closed door, people that do you wrong, seasons that slow down. These things have to happen for you to see the best, for you to see greater favor and greater influence.
Many times, God waits on purpose till the odds are against us. He waits until the obstacle is too big, so when He turns it around, there won’t be any doubt it was His favor, His healing, His power making a way where there was no way.
When you make a mistake, go to God and ask for forgiveness, then move on. Don’t keep asking Him again and again, bringing up the same failures, the same times you blew it. The first time you asked, God not only forgave you but He doesn’t remember it anymore.
When you can sing in the storm, when you praise through the pain, when you thank God that He’s working instead of complaining about the trouble, get ready. Your miracle is on the way.
Don’t put off opportunities to be a blessing to people, to serve those around you. You don’t know where that small step is taking you. Your purpose could be waiting for you at that next act of obedience.
Start making decisions that honor God. Break away from things that are causing you to compromise and be less than your best. It’s not too late; you haven’t been off course too long. God has amazing things in your future if you’ll dare to arise.
Sometimes we feel like we have no more: no more strength, no more vision, no more health. When you come to an end, that’s when God steps in. He won't just help you get through it; He says, “I’ve saved the best for next.”
Is there anything too hard for the Lord? He spoke worlds into existence, He parted Red Seas, He cured the lepers, He brought the dead back to life. What you’re up against is no match for Him.
