The trouble with that is we forget who we are - a child of God, that we have His grace available to us every single moment of our day, so we can have the strength to not just survive but to thrive, to be the Overcomers He says we can be.
It’s all to do with how we’re thinking, to do with our expectations and we can grow and thrive even if we feel like we’re stuck! You might say, “Well I expected something good and it didn’t happen, so I’m not expecting anything anymore!” When we feel like that we need to come back to the stronghold of the word of God which reminds us we all need to have hope or our faith will have nothing to latch on to! (Hebrews 11:1)😊
I’d rather be a prisoner of hope than a prisoner of hopelessness, wouldn’t you? Let’s listen to what God says and lift our eyes upwards and not keep looking at our circumstances. God hasn’t changed one bit, His word is still full of power and tells us to expect to thrive, to be blessed going out and coming in, to not just survive.
God sees you as a success going somewhere to succeed, because of Jesus, no matter what your past experience or what lies the enemy has been telling you. God says you are surrounded by His favour like a shield, now believe it and declare it to the principalities and powers. Resist the negative thoughts and embrace the hope and comfort God offers us as we go into our week, no matter what it looks or feels like! Remember God has promised you double blessing for your troubles.😊
Thank You Father, You want us to thrive, to go from strength to strength, faith to faith, glory to glory, to be above and not beneath, to be blessed and to be a blessing, because of Jesus, and with Your help we will, in Jesus’ name. Amen.
