Grow Through It

“The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree:

he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.”

Psalm 92:12

We all have unpleasant experiences—a coworker gets on our nerves, a business partner betrays us, a child is troublesome, or a dream takes longer than expected. It’s easy to be frustrated and question why nothing is changing. But I’ve learned that God utilizes challenges, delays, and inconveniences to perform work in us. If the situation does not change, perhaps God is using it to alter you. Don’t just go through it upset, bitter, or outraged; grow through it.

Live Out of the Shadow

“Through the tender mercy of our God,

With which the Dayspring from on high has visited us;

To give light to those who sit in darkness and the shadow of death,

To guide our feet into the way of peace.”

Luke 1:78-79

You were never created to live in the dark. When God created Adam, he was brought to life in the light of God’s glory. It was this light that gave him life and a blessed life in the Garden of Eden. Adam was so accustomed to the light of God that the light covered his physical body with the glory of God. But when Adam sinned against God, the light was removed from him, and man has been living in the shadow of darkness from generation to generation.

Lily of the Valleys

“I am the rose of Sharon,

And the lily of the valleys.”

Song of Solomon 2:1

Every human on this planet is susceptible to worries and concerns of the past, present, and future. Some can’t overcome their past decisions, heartaches, failures, and regrets. Some people struggle with their present circumstances, such as a job, a boss, and a co-worker they don’t like. A close friend or spouse who betrayed them. An addiction they have been dealing with for years. Current financial woes threaten their way of life by not being able to keep up with their past-due bills, putting food on the table, and keeping ends meet.

Adversity to Creativity

“The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears,

And delivers them out of all their troubles.”

Psalm 34:17

What do you think people normally do if they get into a jam? They would immediately panic. They would fall into a trap of worrying about the situation and wondering how they would ever get out of it. This is the natural reaction of the flesh, and it doesn’t get you anywhere. The word of God even says that the flesh profits nothing, for it is the Spirit that quickens. You see, all the flesh could ever do in a time of crisis is to relate itself to past experiences to try to figure out a way to get out of that problem.

God Exceeds Your Expectations

“He said to Simon, “Launch out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch.”

Luke 5:4

You may have reached a point in your life where you thought that you had already lived your best life. You may have failed to fulfill many of your life goals and dreams. A black swan event has stopped you from going any further. It could be that your business has shut down because of the pandemic. A physical injury has prevented you from accomplishing regular activities. A sickness has caused you to be bedridden and dependent on somebody else’s support to take care of you.
