Life is not easy. Life comes at you fast! We are constantly bombarded with situations and circumstances that have scary surface value. However, beneath the surface lies a deeper meaning and revelation of who God really is. The problem is getting to the revelation that is often buried under layers of hurt, disgust, temptation, and disappointment.
The devil roams the earth and attempts to use your “valleys� to devour your Godly dreams and aspirations. Satan can only kill you if you choose to kill yourself. His plan is to convince you that your period of suffering is not God’s plan for you. Satan would have you believe that God has made a mistake and the mountain-top is forever out of reach. You shouldn’t be suffering this much, or should you? Remember, God is not capable of making mistakes. He is perfect and always in control.

Every time Satan plays his best card, you are presented with the perfect opportunity to stand strong in your faith-with full awareness that others around the world are enduring with you. Sometimes your adversities are tests from God to see if you are ready for a higher level of blessing and responsibility. God is purging and pruning you, while forming your testimony. At end of the process you are primed to be a blessing to others. Your latter end shall be greater than the first.

After your darkest nights, and tear-filled days, God himself will restore you. He must do so to prove a point to those secretly watching you. Your coming out will not be all about you. Yes, people are watching to see how you react to your problem. No one is asking for you to not hurt. Life hurts! However, if you break under the pressure, you might actually send someone away from God. No unsaved person will want to call Jesus their Lord if they thought that being a Christian was all blood, sweat, and tears. God establishes His reputation on the earth by what He accomplishes in the earth through us. You have a responsibility to reflect Jesus as the joy of your life. Success is often measured in how you handle failure.

When God has completed His masterwork for a particular season of your life, you then immediately become a poster-child for His grace and mercy. Remember, no matter how difficult things may be, you didn’t get what you really deserve. His grace and mercy paired with your faith has kept you, not yourself.
So, stand tall and firm in your belief in God’s sovereign ability to not only bring you out in His time, but to give you an expected end superseding anything you can ask or think!
God delights in blowing your mind with His blessings!
