God's Glory In The Difficult Places
When you come to a valley in the course of your life that seems harder than you think you can bear, You must look for the glory of God in that valley and for the purpose that's already there. For if, in that situation - you walk forward in faith with your eyes fixed on what's true, Then the promises of God will sustain and uphold for the circumstance that comes against you. And if you let go of false notions and concepts that you've held about God at the start, Then God will have a student who is ready to listen to the things He will speak to your heart. If your focus is not on the "easy life" of others but on God and what He's doing this hour, Then you will be filled with His wisdom and knowledge instead of bitterness that makes a heart sour. If you look to the Savior, whom you've already trusted as your example of what's right and wrong, Then Jesus will remind you that suffering has a purpose and that hardship through faith makes you strong. If you get into God's Word you will come to realize that the heroes of the faith held on tight. And they were used by God mightily...tested through trials for they walked by faith, not by sight. For if you believe undoubtedly in God's sovereignty & majesty and don't question all the methods He chooses, Then you will be an instrument God reaches down to fill and a vessel that He constantly uses.
