Worry, fear, and anxiety are taking your strength and draining your energy, your joy, your passion. You have to quiet your soul and come back to a place of peace. That’s when you’ll feel strength, confidence, and joy, even in the midst of a difficult time.
When you let God refine you, you don’t let the offense get in, you don’t live thinking about paying people back. Stay in peace and you’re going to see God’s favor and blessing in great ways.
Life happens to us all. It’s what we do in these unfair times that determines whether we get stuck and let it sour the rest of our lives or whether we move forward and see God make it up to us.
God never said we would understand everything along the way. He didn’t promise that there wouldn’t be any pain, suffering, disappointments. But He did promise that it would all work out for our good.
How many times has God carried you and you didn’t know it? You can look back now and see He carried you through the sickness. You had strength that you never felt. He carried you through the loss. It was painful, but you felt peace. Somehow you were able to keep moving forward.
Sometimes we’re so caught up in our plans, our dreams, our storm, our bad break that we miss the miracles along the way. It’s a divine detour. You’re not going to understand it. You have to trust that God knows what He’s doing.
