Understanding God’s Purpose in Your Challenges

Introduction

I hope that I can put this in fewer words; let’s see how far I can go. Okay, so it goes like this; people often wonder why God permits certain situations or circumstances to come their way. My answer is simple: You have the answer(s). God has equipped you with every tool you need for victory.

You Stand in for God

You are God’s representative on earth. Millions of people are caught up in the enemy’s web and are scrambling for answers. They do not know what to do. To help them, sometimes God allows the same or a similar situation to come your way.
God knows that you can solve it because you stay connected to Him. He knows you will do what He tells you to do with the tools he already placed in you.
The main purpose is that the steps to your victory will become a template for others to follow. This is among the reasons I would encourage you to give testimony about the Lord’s goodness.

The scripture says that ‘Because He Himself [in His humanity] has suffered in being tempted, He is able to help and provide immediate assistance to those who are being tempted and exposed to suffering.’ (Hebrews 2:18, AMP)

Reflection

  • Think about a challenge you faced. Consider how this challenge empowered you.
  • Reflect on how it enabled you to help those caught up in a similar situation.

Conclusion

Whatever challenge or temptation the enemy throws at you this year, know that God will allow it for a purpose. You’re equipped to solve it. After you come out, know that other people are waiting to hear how you did it. Sing of the Lord’s Goodness.

Power Thought: God Never Changes

People, events, and situations change with time but God doesn’t change.

He is who He says He is, and what He says He is. From everlasting to everlasting, He is the same God.

See God as a parent or guardian with many children under one roof. These kids may have different needs but they don’t change who the parent/guardian is. He/She loves them and cares for them in different ways, according to their specific needs. That is although God remains the Same, He has many ways of meeting His children’s needs.

Today, you can trust God’s Power is as potent as it was when He created the Word. The same Power that worked through Jesus Christ, and raised Him from the dead is alive and active in your life. Even now, He is working in you to perfect His purpose for your life. Don’t compare your life with anyone because like the parent/guardian described above, you are different and He has a different way of meeting your needs.
