Strong Against Difficulty
“Fear
not [there is nothing to fear], for I am with you; do not look around you in
terror and be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen and harden you to
difficulties, yes, I will help you; yes, I will hold you up and retain you with
My [victorious] right hand of rightness and justice.”(Isiaih 41:10)
It’s
easy to look around at what’s happening in the earth today and be tempted to
feel afraid or dismayed. Circumstances may seem overwhelming. Maybe your
business is struggling, maybe you lost your job, maybe you’re struggling in a
relationship or concerned about the economy. During times like these, it’s
important to remember that God has promised that He will never leave us nor
forsake us. In fact, not only is He with us, He has promised to strengthen us
and harden us to difficulties. That means, when tough times come, they just
bounce right off of you. You don’t allow your circumstances to steal your peace
and joy. You have the attitude that says, “This may be a big problem, but my
God is bigger!”
Keep in
mind that the enemy isn’t after your checkbook; he’s ultimately after your
peace and joy. He knows that if he can get your joy, then he can get your
strength. But when you stay connected to the Father through prayer, studying
the Word and declaring His promises over your life, you’ll be hardened to
difficulties and stay safe in the palm of God’s hand!
