Luke 18:27
But he said, “What is impossible with man is possible with God.”
Many of us have been in positions where we felt like whatever we were going through was impossible to get out of. It seemed like not even God could help. I’ve been in that position multiple times in my life. I feel like sometimes when we are going through rough times that things seem to get worse before they get better. They seem to continue to fall out of control the more we try to hold them together. But through it all we still try to worship God, we still give God our all because something tells us, that little small voice let’s us know that God’s got it under control. It doesn’t mean that it’s easy, or that it gets easier it becomes bearable. Until God comes through it’s bearable. We endure, we stand on His promise waiting for Him to move. Waiting for Him to bring us through this mess. I know sometimes it’s like, “Alright God, where you at? I’m hanging on by a thread.” Even in those moments God knows exactly when He’s going to step in. He knows how strong we are because He gave us that strength. These moments are a test of faith, strength, and endurance.
Romans 5:3-5
We can rejoice, too, when we run into problems and trials, for we know that they help us develop endurance. And endurance develops strength of character, and character strengthens our confident hope of salvation. And this hope will not lead to disappointment. For we know how dearly God loves us, because he has given us the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with his love.
How many of you have gone through something and come out different than before? You come out a completely different person. You come out better than you were before. God sustained us, He taught us how to endure in those hard times and stand on His promises, and trust Him. He’s building us, and like a diamond take an immense amount of pressure to become beautiful, sometimes we need to be pressured. Sometimes we have to be broken so God can rebuild us. As the scripture tells us above, problems help develop endurance, and that endurance builds strength of character, and that strength of character gives us hope in a salvation through Jesus Christ. God is molding and shaping us into the people He wants us to be and that will not always be easy, nor will it feel good but it will be worth it. He’s showing us how to lean on Him and trust in His sovereign power and lean into His faithfulness.
All this to say, when it seems most impossible that’s when God will step in a show us just who He is. That’s when God will step in to take care of His children. One things for sure is that He will never leave us. He will not walk away from us in our moment of need. He will not walk away from us at any moment. Just know that whatever you’re going through, it’s not impossible. It’s building you, so until God steps in stand. Endure, know that He’s watching you and He knows your strength, He built you, He loves us so much.
Response/Prayer Time
I don’t know what you’re going through, I don’t know what struggles you have face or what you are facing in this moment. But give it to God, open your heart to God, even if it’s broken. Stand on His word, lean on Him and trust Him, He has everything under control. Talk to God about what we discussed today. Spend some extra time with Him today.
I love you so much, and I hope you have an amazing day or evening! Be sure to share this with someone and come back tomorrow for Day 296!
