THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:

JUST BECAUSE IT’S AN UNCOMFORTABLE PLACE, DOESN’T MEAN IT’S NOT WHERE YOU’RE SUPPOSED TO BE

We all face difficult situations. Somebody isn’t treating you right; your business is not growing as fast as you had hoped, or maybe you’re single and still haven’t met anyone. It’s easy to get frustrated and anxious on the inside. You don’t understand why it’s taking so long or why things haven’t changed.

But here’s a KEY: just because it’s an uncomfortable place doesn’t mean it’s not where you’re supposed to be. God uses DIFFICULTIES to do a work in us. We GROW in the tough times. That’s when our CHARACTER is being developed. God will not allow a difficulty unless He has a divine PURPOSE for it. If we’re going to reach our highest POTENTIAL, we have to make up our mind, “I am NOT going to live frustrated because I am uncomfortable. I’m not going to be upset because things are not happening on my timetable. I’m not going to fight against everything that I don’t like.” Instead, BELIEVE that God is doing a work in you. BELIEVE that He has the best for you. See yourself moving forward in the DESTINY of GREATNESS He has prepared for you.

Today’s Scripture

That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.

2 Corinthians 12:10, NIV
