How Strong Are You?
It’s a given.
There will be storms in life. Whether we like it or not, we will have to face challenging and difficult situations. Our goal is that we stay standing strong, even during these trials.
Consider the example of a tree. Throughout its life it will have to weather countless storms. Without an immense root system to anchor it and provide nourishment, a tree would topple over.
The same is true for us. Those who are planted deeply in Christ and in a community of fellow believers, are more likely to survive life’s storms.
Think about it.
What will keep you standing strong when things get hard?
We need to remain faithful to allow God to develop us into the person He wants us to be. He promises us that He started the good work within us and He will be faithful to bring it to completion. He is developing us day by day to be more like Him. He is creating us to be His masterpiece and He takes great pleasure in us.
Don’t worry, you’re not alone. You can do all things through Him, because He is strengthening you!
Remember: God is my greatest encourager. He began the good work within me and He will be faithful to complete it.
What God wants to do:
- Encourage you to keep going
- Create in you a beautiful masterpiece
- Show you that He is always there, even in the strongest storm
