| John 16:33 " In the world ye shall have tribulation; but be of good cheer: I have overcome the world."
If you are a child of God there is certainly will be troubles to meet, but Jesus says do not be surprised when the come. God does not give us overcoming life; He gives us life as we overcome. The strain is the strength. If there is no strain,, there is no strength. Immediately you face the strain, you will get the strength. Overcome your own timidity and take the step, and God will give you to eat of the tree of life, and you will have nourishment. If you spend yourself physically, and you become exhausted; but spend yourself spiritually , and you get more strength. God NEVER GIVES strength for tomorrow, or for the next hour, but ONLY for the strain of the minute. The temptation is to face difficulties from a common sense standpoint. The saint is hilarious when He is crushed with difficulties because the thing is so ludicrously impossible to anyone but God.
It is WITH GOD ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE.
Father, God guide me today to do ALL things that will bring GLORY AND HONOR to YOU AMEN  |
