Psalm 66:12 [NLT] ‘We went through fire and flood, but you brought us to a place of great abundance.

DAILY READING; Galatians 3:1-18; Jeremiah 51-52; Psalm 144

There’s a popular story about some Sea food companies who were having problems shipping codfish from the East Coast to the West coast. Each time they shipped them, by the time the fish reached the West Coast, they were spoiled.
The Sea food companies tried freezing them, but by the time the fish arrived, they were mushy.
They tried a dozen different things, but those methods failed. Finally an experienced fisherman suggested that they put a catfish in the tank of the codfish. He said this because the catfish is the natural enemy of the codfish. So the Sea food companies put a catfish in the tank with the codfish that they were shipping from east to west. When they opened the tank on the west coast, those codfish were alive and fresh. What happened was that codfish had spent all the time on the trip running from the catfish. This made them to be full of vigor, stimulated and alive.

Some of us may want an easy life of no enemies, no difficulties and no challenges, but the truth is that our strength grows through adversities.
Some of what looks today like your enemies maybe the catfish in your tank that is meant to keep you moving and making progress.
Without the resistance of water, a ship can’t float. Without the resistance of air, big boeing 747’s could not be able to fly.
Today, you may be facing a situation that seems to be wearing you down, but know that God has given you strength for that battle. He says you will never face something you can’t handle.
Though the storms will come and winds will blow, yet through it all we are destined to be more than conquerors.
Though we may go through fire and through water, certainly, God will bring us out into a wealthy place.
(Psalms 66:12).

Despite the tough times, you will come out better and stronger than you were before.
The key to surviving and thriving through the tough times is being rooted in God. Time spent blessing the Lord through prayer and worship—regardless of your circumstances—will make you become grounded in faith, ready to weather any storm.
Certainly, through Christ, we will keep flourishing even in the most difficult of times.
On this last day of the month of July, it is a good time to pause and thank God for making us winners through out this month. Certainly by the help of the Holy Spirit we have overcome the trials and troubles that tried to hinder our progress.
And as we look forward to the new month, surely we shall continue to triumph always and enjoy greater open doors wherever we go in Jesus Name.

PRAYER: Lord, I thank You for Your abundant grace this month Please help me to daily receive strength and faith from Your Word to always overcome and keep thriving, flourishing and rising higher in Jesus Name.
