Challenges Are Your Opportunities
Endure hardship as discipline; God is treating you as his
children...No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but
painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of
righteousness and peace for those who have been trained
by it (Hebrews 12:7-11 NIV).
The Bible says, “For the eyes of the LORD run to and
fro throughout the whole earth, to shew himself
strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward
him…” (2 Chronicles 16:9). That means He’s watching and
looking for opportunities to manifest His glory on your behalf.
He never leaves you alone. He never lets you down. He’s
moved with the feeling of our infirmities (Hebrews 4:15). He
knows when you go through pain, and seeks to get you out of
every predicament.
Every human need is God’s opportunity to bless. He
wants to meet every human need. Actually, He’s already done
that in Christ Jesus, but some are yet to fully understand and
accept what He’s done. When you have a problem, when
you face difficult situations that seem insurmountable, it’s an
opportunity for you to experience a miracle. God never turns
His back on you; His desire is for you to have a testimony
from that challenge.
With this understanding, when you face tests, trials,
and persecutions, when the storms and pressures of life billow
against you, just know that your testimony is at hand. Many
get overwhelmed by the challenges they face, not realizing
that every challenging situation is a testimony in the making.
The Word says, “Count it all joy when you go through diverse
Challenges Are Your Opportunities
tests” (James 1:2).
1 John 4:4 says, “Ye are of God, little children, and
have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you,
than he that is in the world.” The greater One lives in you;
therefore, the challenges you face are bread for you. It makes
no difference if it’s a health challenge, financial challenge, or
challenges with your work; refuse to faint; rather, be strong
in faith, giving glory to God. See the situation as your
opportunity to demonstrate the power of God!
PRAYER
Gracious and loving Father,
indeed your faithfulness and love
are without end. Thank you for
your strength in my inner man.
Challenges are bread for me,
because I’m full of the might and
ability of the Spirit, who leads me
in perpetual victory parade.
Thank you for making me
eternally triumphant, in Jesus’
Name. Amen. 1 YEAR BIBLE
