“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.
