Positive Quote for the Week: What do you do when tribulation is after you?

“When tribulation hits do you quit or do you keep pressing forward toward the mark?!” Erica Willis

One of the main reasons why some Christians backslide and fall away from the Lord is when tribulation hits. When we go through something so traumatic and so painful, we cannot wrap our minds around the reason why it is happening to us. It can be depleting, discouraging, and if we are honest a lot of times it makes us angry.

What do you do when tribulation is after you? Do you throw a temper tantrum and quit, or do you stand firm on the Word of God and let the devil know “not today Satan!?” We have to get to the point where we know that God’s Word supersedes anything that we are facing.

He states in 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.” If we truly understand that verse and hold on to its promise, we have to know that whatever goes on in our lives good or bad has to work in our favor. That is why it is vital that you stay saturated in the bible in season and out of season as the Lord explains in 2 Timothy 4:2.

That way, when tribulation comes after you, you will know exactly what to do. Just like Jesus Himself came at the devil with “it is written” you have the authority to do the same! Remember, the devil is the father of lies and will plant seeds of doubt in your mind because he knows that you are in a fragile state. Don’t give him that satisfaction!

Scriptures on overcoming tribulation

James 1:12 “Blessed is the man who endures temptation; for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him.”

Romans 12:12 “Rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation, continuing steadfastly in prayer.”

James 1:2 “My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials.”

Exodus 14:14 “The Lord will fight for you, and you shall hold your peace.”

1 Peter 4:12 “Beloved, do not think it strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened to you.”
