When was the last time you heard grin and bear it, when going through the hardest time of your life? How did that make you feel?
There are many that have made their claim to fame through much pain and suffering and living by this motto, yet wander this earth never having peace of mind or finding fulfillment in life.
I have no lame cliches’ just proven promises from the Word of God that have pulled me out of the pit of despair and it isn’t s…k it up. Life’s challenges are overwhelming when we make them all about us. It is never about us.
For those called by God to live a victorious life, we are given strategy to overcome.
Here are I Peter’s bits of wisdom written while in prison. I would say he had some struggles going on,
I Peter 5:6-11 brings hope..
~ Humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God and he will lift you up in due time
~ Cast all your burdens on Him because He cares..Does he really? You may ask..yes!!!
~ Be serious And alert.. be careful!!!!
~ Resist the devil and he will flee…a sure thing,.don’t cave in..we are given power to overcome!!!!!
Now how to walk in it?
By faith with little bits of consistency..imperfect progress keeping our eyes on Jesus is the focus..that is all
God has called us to glory on earth and He will personally….
*Restore
*Establish
*Strengthen
*And support YOU
After you have suffered only a LITTLE.. praise Jesus just a little!!!!
The danger of trying to do anything on your own is tempting. To humble oneself when going through A trial and surrendering to God that He is the Great “I Am” brings much peace. He promises to never leave us or forsake us and to be our peace.
May you find Him in your struggle. He wants to make your plans succeed but He wants the credit: )His name is jealous.
Father, help your children trust YOU above all else, especially self. Forgive us and help us walk in this victorious faith today as we draw a line in the sand and choose to become a mature bride bearing much Fruit. Thank you for your grace amd mercy. Always.. Amen
Til we meet again..xoxox
