When Jesus went to the cross, He not only bore our sins; He bore our weaknesses and failures. You are not at the mercy of what’s coming against you. Two thousand years ago, the antidote was created. What the enemy meant for harm, God is going to use to your advantage.
The trouble is not there to stop you, it’s there to propel you. God wouldn’t have allowed the storm if you weren’t going to make to the other side. You haven’t seen, heard or imagined what God has in store for you.
No person can stop the blessing, the purpose, the destiny that God has laid out for you. You’re going to be an example of God’s goodness so other people can see the hand of God on your life. You don’t have to go somewhere else to have the blessing; the blessing is on you.
The squeezing, the pressing—that’s not how your story ends. Real victory is not won in public; it’s won in private. On the other side of suffering is the power of resurrection. The enemy doesn’t have the final say; God does.
