Going through a difficult season? Well, let me be the first to let you in on a little secret; you’re not alone. You see, when we go through a difficult season, we can find much peace in these words: God already has it figured out. Many times we will find ourselves at a place where there seems no escape from the plight, pressure or pain. Yet when we let those words sink into our spirits, we find the courage to move forward.
Make note, believing that God’s got our tough times figured out frees us from anxious thoughts (Proverbs 3:5-6). We no longer have to stay up late or wake up early working trying to plan everything out because God can take our hard places, and difficult seasons and turn them for our good (Romans 8:28).
My brothers and sisters, when we constantly meditate on His promises and walk in obedience to His word, we have the ability to rest in Him. I get it, there will be the temptation to worry, and our enemy will constantly throw shade our way, but we can breakthrough these snares as we take steps in faith in spite of our situation.
We must be intentional to focus our attention on Him and not our situation. This walk of faith is going to have wonderful times of joy and uncomfortable times of sorrow. Somehow in God’s sovereign power, He takes this confusing mixture of life and works it out for our good and His glory (Romans 8:28).
At the end of the day, God love and reward those who diligently seek Him (Hebrews 11:6), but we must be willing to walk according to His calling on our lives, even when we are tested in our faith (James 1:1-4). God got us whether or not our deliverance comes quickly or sometime in the future. Our testimony isn’t just what He did but how He kept us in our difficult seasons.
