Look to your Creator. Look to the Most High God. He’s the One that has beauty for the ashes. He’s the One that can bring you out better than you were before. That’s how you move forward when it’s unfair.
If you believe God is ordering your steps, then you’ll trust Him with the open doors and trust Him with the closed doors. You’ll trust Him with the good breaks and trust Him with the bad breaks.
We look at things logically, but God is a supernatural God. He specializes in exceeding our expectations. What He has planned for you is bigger, more rewarding, more fulfilling than you’ve dreamed.
One way we honor God is by living happy. He didn’t create you to go through the day overcome by problems, discouraged by disappointments, without joy. No, this day is a gift from God. We should feel a responsibility to live it in faith: grateful, happy, joyful.
If you’re going to live happier, you may have to tune some things out. You can’t take in negative all the time and stay in faith. The Scripture says, “Think on things that are of a good report, things that are positive, hopeful.” Our thinking has a lot to do with our happiness.
A key to faith is trusting when you don’t understand, trusting when you don’t have the answers, trusting when it seems like it’s just the opposite of what you were hoping for.
When you stay in faith even when you don’t have the answers, when you believe even when every thought says there’s no way, God will show out in your life. He’ll cause you to defy the odds and go places you couldn’t go on your own.
What God will speak to your spirit, many times, will be so big, so far out, that it’s easy to dismiss it and think there’s no way. We end up burying alive all these big dreams and awesome things God wants to do.
How much time are you wasting offended, upset, letting difficult people steal your joy? It’s time to get focused. Tune out all of the negative and run your race with purpose.
You need to take back control of your happiness. Quit putting it in someone else’s hands. Make up your mind that no matter what people do, no matter what they say, how they treat you, they’re not going to steal your joy.
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.
People didn’t breathe life into you. They didn’t choose you before you were formed in your mother’s womb. What they say cannot stop your purpose. Don’t give them the time of day. Ignore them and move forward.
It may take a little time to see it come to pass, but it’s on the way. Don’t get talked out of it. Don’t let what’s not happening discourage you. Keep believing, keep thanking God, and you’re going to see what God has spoken over your life.
God is faithful. Don’t let the lack of evidence convince you that nothing is happening. In the unseen realm, things are changing in your favor. Forces that have stopped you in the past have been broken.
You can’t be weak and give up because it’s not happening on your timetable. Some enemies are stubborn. You have to outlast the trouble at work, outlast the slow season, outlast the difficulty in your marriage.
Is God asking you to do something that seems too hard, uncomfortable? Yes, it may be difficult, but if you could see the blessing that comes from obedience, if you could see the joy, the fulfillment, the provision, then you would dig down deep and do it.
When you start declaring His promises, when you start speaking what He says about you, not only is faith going to rise in your heart, but it’s going to change your perspective.
