Positive Quote for the Week-Don’t Let Adversity get in your way!
“Don’t let adversity stop you from achieving your goals! Instead use it as a stepping stone to help advance your purpose!” Erica Willis
A lot of times we let the adversities that we face in life cause us to stop moving forward. We fail to recognize that the trials and tribulations are there to strengthen you and prepare you for the next level that the Lord has for you. The enemy would love nothing more than for you to buckle under pressure preventing you from achieving the purpose that God has destined for you.
The devil is a liar! Allow your struggles to give you the tenacity and the perseverance to achieve your goals despite what you’re going through. The fact of the matter is anything worth having is going to take some hard work and dedication to get it. Nothing that is valuable is ever going to just be handed to you.
This is especially the case if you are pursuing things that will bring people to Jesus Christ. The enemy does not want you to do anything that is going to advance the Kingdom of God. Don’t allow him to get you off track when you know the Lord has placed it in your heart to achieve a particular goal…just do it. He will back you up and give you all of the resources that you need to succeed.
You have the ability through Christ to move any mountain that will ever stand in the way of your purpose. The key is that you have to understand that you are going to have to endure warfare in order for you to make it through, but that’s okay. Why? He that is in you is always going to be greater than he that is in the World, 1 John 4:4.
Adversity can either propel you to your next level or hinder you from fulfilling your goals! Make the choice to let it become your stepping stone to advancing your purpose. As long as you have breath in your body, you can become anything you want to become and achieve anything you want to achieve. It all begins with you, one day at a time!
Some Scriptures that you can meditate on during adversity are:
- 2 Corinthians 4:8-9 “We are hard-pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed—“
- Proverbs 3:5-6 “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths.”
- 1 Peter 5:10 “But may the God of all grace, who called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you.”
- Romans 8:28 “And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.”
- 2 Chronicles 15:7 “But you, be strong and do not let your hands be weak, for your work shall be rewarded!”
- Psalm 34:19 “Many are the afflictions of the righteous, But the Lord delivers him out of them all.”
- Isaiah 26:3 “You will keep him in perfect peace, Whose mind is stayed on You, Because he trusts in You.”
