When You Get Hit With a Challenge
When we're faced with challenges in our lives, the best thing we can do is get into the Bible. The worst thing we can do is let our emotions rule us. There are so many times when people flip out and let their emotions take control. That never ends well. We have to see our circumstances as an opportunity to trust God and grow. Failure is never final. Take all the challenges you face and become someone who is maturing and growing instead of coasting. God is not the author of your problems; He’s the author of the solutions. Your potential to go from where you are now into a new level is articulated four times in the Bible: from faith to faith (Romans 1:17), from glory to glory (2 Cor. 3:18), from grace to grace (John 1:16), and from strength to strength (Psalm 84:7) You are more than a conqueror (Romans 8:37). No matter what you’re facing, you can conquer it as long as you submit to God and let Him direct your footsteps. Then, and only then, will you be on the path to victory.
