THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:

KEEP THE RIGHT ATTITUDE AND GOD WILL PUSH YOU TO A NEW LEVEL

In the Scripture, Job had his nest ALL fixed up, had his house JUST as he wanted it, and had a successful BUSINESS. Things were going GREAT. He was FINALLY comfortable, but what HAPPENED? GOD stirred up his NEST. God doesn’t BRING the trouble, but He will ALLOW difficulties to push us into our DESTINY. Almost overnight Job lost his HEALTH, his CHILDREN, AND his BUSINESS. If the story STOPPED there, it would be a sad ENDING. But Job understood this principle. In spite of great DIFFICULTIES, he said, “I know my Redeemer LIVES.” He was saying, “I know God is STILL on the throne. This trouble is NOT going to DEFEAT me; it’s going to PUSH me.” In the end Job came out with TWICE what he’d had before. God’s dream for his life was GREATER than he could IMAGINE.

EVERY difficulty you go through pushes you to MATURE, to TRUST God more, to be more RESILIENT and DETERMINED. Keep the right attitude, and God will PUSH you to a NEW level.

Today’s Scripture:

Job 29:18, TLB

“I thought, ‘Surely I shall die quietly in my nest after a long, good life.'”
