Let Your Opposition Become Your Opportunity
Are you facing a personal situation that is difficult and keeping you from being at your best? Remember opposition is an opportunity. An opportunity to be strengthened in your faith. Through opposition God teaches us new things like how to better trust Him, how to lean on Him and how to be patient and wait on Him. He gives us opportunities to grow up in our relationship with Him. He is strengthening and stretching us. So, cheer up! God is treating you as His child. (Hebrews 12:7)
His word tells us, “Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you” (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 ESV).
