Adversity in life...reveals where you stand

Adversity will put to the test what you profess to believe about God & how you respond...reveals where you stand. Adversity exposes the false idols you've relied on, messes up the predictable routines that have stunted your development & purges pride you didn't even know existed! Welcome this adversity & you will know God's love like never before, be known by Him in a ways you never imagined & open the door for the development of the authentic person He designed you to be!!!

Nobody looks forward to adversity, but it's required to grow in faith while gaining revelation of walking in the freedom God promises. You don't have to make a way for yourself-God's already done it! But you do have to agree with His truth & be willing to leave the comfort of the Christian fortress you've built & follow the unknown path God leads you on. When you accept the revelation that God's for you, has always loved you & wants you to rely completely on a Him for all you need...then you will begin to let go of the anxiety about being overlooked, not being good enough or not having what it takes!

Each time you face adversity, you have an opportunity to lay down who you think you should be & who you are trying to be & become more of who God says you are... His masterpiece, who He created with his own hands to do the good works He planned specifically for you long ago! What does your response to adversity reveal about you?
