Soar Above It.
Isaiah 40:29-31.
Beloved, 41 percent of the birds in New Zealand can’t fly? Why, you ask? Because there are no predators on the island of New Zealand. These birds have no need to fly because they never face opposition. In the same way, you are never going to “mount up with wings as eagles” if you never have any adversity. Opposition and difficulties enables you to do greater things because it lifts up your prayer life and makes you more dependent on God. God intends for the winds of adversity to take you higher.
Despite being wrongfully imprisoned, beaten, and even stoned, the Apostle Paul didn’t sit around feeling sorry for himself. He said, “None of these things move me. I’m more than a conqueror, and I don’t give up.” Job lost everything and everybody he loved, but he said, “Nevertheless, blessed be the name of the Lord! I will praise him when he’s giving, and I will praise him when he’s taking away.” The number one goal of the enemy is to get you mad at God. If he can make you doubt the goodness of God, then he has won.
Proverbs 24:10 says, “If you faint in the day of adversity, your strength is small.”
Beloved, you can’t allow the economic melt down and the storms of hiking cost of living stop you.
You can’t allow offense or wounds to make you lay down in self-pity and give up.
Jesus, your Captain is saying to you today, "Soar in the midst of the storms"
Shalom!
