Sometimes people’s selfish ambition will cause them to hold you back or push you down. The good news is, what people intend to suppress, God often uses to prepare.
Always remember that our struggle is not against flesh and blood! Keep your Armor on and stand.
Joseph was pushed into a pit, but the pit positioned him for the palace.
David was hunted—but the wilderness trained him for the throne.
Daniel was set up—but the lions’ den became his testimony.
Jesus was crucified—but the cross became the doorway to resurrection.
What was meant to break Joseph made him discerning.
What was meant to silence David made him worshipful.
What was meant to devour Daniel revealed God’s power.
What was meant to end Jesus fulfilled redemption.
The very resistance you are facing may be what God is using, not to crush you, but to strengthen your character for where He’s taking you.
They can’t hold you back.
It’s a set up for promotion!
God will allow the resistance for the refining and testing your character.
Remain humble.
Remain obedient.
Remain anchored in Christ.
Guard your heart from bitterness, pride, and discouragement. Trust the Lord in the season of pressing.
Wait on the Lord and watch Him move. It’s tried and true. He will not fail you!
“For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.”
Ephesians 6:12-13
“We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed.”
2 Corinthians 4:8-9
“Humble yourselves, that He may exalt you in due time.”
1 Peter 5:6
“A man’s pride will bring him low, but the humble in spirit will retain honor.”
Proverbs 29:23
“You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives.”
Genesis 50:20
In His Amazing Love,
