It’s Designed Just For You
There hath no temptation taken you but such as is
common to man: but God is faithful, who will not
suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able;
but will with the temptation also make a way to
escape, that ye may be able to bear it
(1 Corinthians 10:13).
Just as there’re bespoke clothes, bags, and
shoes, etc., there’re also “bespoke problems,”
customized just for you. The challenges you face in life
aren’t planned for anybody else, but you. So, make up
your mind to be excited for the peculiar challenges that
come your way, for they’re yours to overcome.
It’s the reason the Word says, “My brethren, count
it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations” (James
1:2). You’re destined to prevail. Problems gravitate
only towards their solution. So, welcome trouble.
Your attitude towards life’s challenges should be that
of absolute success and total victory, irrespective of
the situation.
The problem you have in your life isn’t the issue,
and it’s not how you feel about it that gets God’s
attention. What gets His attention is what you do
about it. He’s not “troubled” by the severity of the
problems you face, because He knows you’re born of
Him; you’re more than a conqueror. All He wants you
to do is to learn His Word, and get the wisdom of the
Kingdom working in your spirit, so that you’ll always
respond the right way. When you face every challenge
with Kingdom-response, you’ll never lose.
2 Corinthians 4:17 says, “For our light affliction,
which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far
more exceeding and eternal weight of glory.” The
quality and potential of the troubles that come your
way determine the quality of your personality, your
promotion, and the place that God has set for you. The
smaller your troubles, the smaller your rank will be.
Be inspired by people who have faced tough
times and prevailed; not by lily-livered individuals
who chickened out in the day of adversity. The Bible
says if you give up in the day of adversity, you’re of
a poor specimen (Proverbs 24:10 TLB). Confront
challenges and win. If you think your challenges are
great, happy are you, for that means you’re great; it’s
your opportunity to prove the Word. Face that problem
head on! Your faith is all that you need. Your faith in
the Word will always prevail and put you over.
Prayer
I thank you, blessed Father, for the power of your Word, and
its ability to produce results in my life. My faith is increased
and strengthened to rule over circumstances, and overcome
any challenge that may come my way today, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
