Everything that happens in life—the difficulties, the delays, the things that are not fair—they’re not random. God is giving you the opportunity to grow, to come up higher. He’s getting you prepared to handle the weight of favor, the weight of influence.
God has the last word. He overrides what’s trying to stop you. The opposition, the people against you, they have a say. They may set you back, but really, they’re setting you up. The more they pull you back, the further God is going to take you. He has the final say.
