“Behold, I am with you and will keep you wherever you go, and will bring you back to this land. For I will not leave you until I have done what I have promised you.”

--Genesis 28:15

If these last few weeks and months have been a struggle for you… if you’ve come upon financial troubles… lost your job… or you’re looking at a future that’s pretty bleak… I have a word of hope for you today. 

That word is this: God has not left you. He hasn’t let you go!

If you are a born-again believer, God is working in your life. It is a certainty. He has a plan for your life, and sometimes that plan involves hardships and trials. But every challenge helps prepare and position you for the purpose God has for your life.

Don’t believe me? Try this exercise. Think about the greatest struggles of your life so far. What have you learned from them? Are you wiser and stronger because of them? What good came out of each trial?

You see, the journey of your life is a plan in God’s hands. Trust Him with your life today… and with your future. 

GIVE GOD THANKS FOR TRIALS THAT HAVE MADE YOU STRONGER.
