Proverbs 15:24 KJV
24 The way of life is above to the wise, that he may depart from hell beneath.
DAILY READING – Revelation 6; Nehemiah 8:13-9:37; Psalm 101
There is a process of transition to greater heights.
When you get into a seat on an airplane, what is the first thing you are told? Fasten your seat belt. Why? Because you are about to go up, brace yourself for the turbulence. In the same way, when you are about to move to your next level of accomplishment, you must fasten your mental and spiritual seat belts because you must endure the turbulence of change.
When you are about to soar to the next level God will always allow you to receive an ‘examination’. This is to prepare you to handle that new height. Because each level comes with new devils, and you must be prepared beforehand to overcome, so that what was meant to become your throne does not become your tomb.
Challenges often prepare us for the next level of life.
So the challenges you are facing now may just mean you are about to go higher. Perhaps you are at the very edge of your promotion, so don’t be discouraged, don’t waver. Rather see every challenge as an opportunity to draw closer to God.
Though David was anointed king by Samuel, it took years of passing through difficult challenges before he could eventually mount the throne. But all that was part of the preparation for where he was going to.
Life is a continuous succession of both small and large challenges. It seems no sooner you get control of one situation than another comes along. But yet all this challenges come to make us stronger to prepare us for the heights we are to destined to attain. Adversity pushes us to accelerate the development of our greatest potential. Without adversity there will be no growth. A moth will not become a beautiful butterfly until it has endured the struggle through the tiny hole in its cocoon. When a moth is struggling to get through the hole it is actually forcing the fluid from its body into its wings. Without the struggle the wings will not get the necessary fluid to grow, without the struggle the butterfly’s wings would never be strong enough to function and fly. And without flight the butterfly will not be able to survive.
Challenges always come at the point of growth or moving to a new level.
So if challenges come, see them as opportunities for rising, trusting That God is too faithful to allow you to be tempted more than you are able to handle. See them as times to praise God, because He is about to raise you. And as you praise God will indeed cause you to soar to your next level. 1 Thessalonians 5:18
Says ‘In everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you…’
Praise is the will of God, which after you have done, you are sure to obtain the promise of signs and wonders. Therefore, no matter what you’re going through, praise God and you will see amazing signs and wonders trailing you. .
PRAYER: Father please help me to praise You always in every situation. I know that by Your grace I am rising to amazing heights this month in Jesus name.
