Everyone will go through something extremely challenging at some point in their life. For most, it will seem like everything is falling apart, and they are heading for sure destruction, but be sure of this; God is in control and has an excellent plan for a great comeback!

Proverbs 24:16  Though a righteous man falls seven times, he rises again, but the wicked are brought down by calamity. 

Jeremiah 29:11-12  For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. 

There are those, who when going through hard times, believe that God has left them. That God would leave you is the furthest from the truth! Nobody wins the Olympics without putting their body through significant testing and trial! Because of the promises in the word of God, I can assure you; God has amazing things in store for you! The only caveat is – Will you believe him? Consider King David’s attitude when he was going through what seemed like the shadow of death itself.

Psalm 23:1-6 The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not be in want. He makes me lie down in green pastures; he leads me beside quiet waters; he restores my soul. He guides me in paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever. 

Faith alone unlocks the door of God’s rich bounty that he longs to pour out on each of us! God does not allow life’s challenging circumstances to make you worse, but rather to make you better! You are supposed to go higher, not lower! Sure there are perplexing, dark valleys that we may have two go through, but God’s plan can never be thwarted! The only thing God needs is your faith!

1Peter 1:7 That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than gold that perishes, though it is tried with fire, might be found to praise and honor and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ.

Faith is what pleases God! Faith is the key to unlock the bounty of God’s blessing for you! I want to challenge and encourage you to step out and believe God today! No matter what you’re going through, God has something wonderful in store for you! Set your mind upon him and remember that it is not you, but rather your faith that is on trial! God is longing to bless you, and he is able to bless you! What he needs is for you to…
