No matter how nice of a person you are, you’re going to encounter people that are hard to get along with. How you handle difficult people will determine how high you will go.
God has spoken promises to your spirit that may seem too big, impossible. You don’t have the connections, the experience, the funds. Don’t talk yourself out of the miracle. Get in agreement with God. Dare to declare what He put in your heart.
My prayer is, “God, make us thirsty again: thirsty to know You in a greater way, thirsty to rise out of addictions, defeat, mediocrity, thirsty to set new levels, to go where no one in our family has gone, thirsty to become all that You created us to be.”
When you honor God, you are connected to a supply line that will never run dry. You’re not at the mercy of the economy or who likes you or what your boss does. God has all kinds of resources He can use.
You don’t have to wait until everything is perfect; you can flourish in the trouble, see favor in the famine, be promoted in the pandemic. My challenge today is to do what Paul did, do what Joseph did, keep being your best where you are.
Get rid of the distractions. No more living to please people, no more worried about what others think, no more fighting battles that don’t matter. This is your hour. It’s time to get focused. It’s time to run your race.
The Psalmist says, “God is a very present help in times of trouble.” We know God is always with us, but when you’re in difficulties, if you’ll invite Him in, you’ll feel His presence in a greater way.
