Our Struggles - Our Refuge

 



Good morning ladies! Today I'm sharing a devotional from Max Lucado. I hope it is a blessing to you today. Have a great day. 💕


God Is Using Your Struggle


God is using your struggle to toughen you up! It’s like viewing a movie after you’ve read the book. When something bad happens, everyone else gasps at the crisis on the screen. But not you. Why? You’ve read the book. You know how the good guy gets out of the tight spot.


God views your life with the same confidence. He’s not only read your story, he wrote it. His perspective is different, and his purpose is clear. One of God’s cures for weak faith? A good, healthy struggle. Consider it a gift when tests and challenges come at you from all sides. Under pressure, your faith life is forced into the open and shows its true colors. Scripture says, “let it do its work so you become mature and well-developed, not deficient in any way” (James 1:4 The Message). Join with Isaiah who resolved, “I will trust in him and not be afraid!”  see
