If you’re facing challenges today, ask God to hold you up, strengthen you, and help you learn what He is trying to teach you. “Blessed is He who endures.” (James 1:12)

Please keep in mind that not all storms in our lives are from God. Many times, we can create our own storms by making poor decisions. The best thing to do in these cases is to ask God to help you learn from your mistakes.

God can use your own storms to teach you things and use them to bring you increase. “All things work together for good to them who love Lord and are called according to His purpose.” (Romans 8:28)

Be encouraged if things are not what you think they should be. God has a wonderful plan for your life and He may just be working on inside of you right now. God is faithful to His word! Remember, “The desire of righteous shall be granted.” (Proverbs 10:24)

A person who sows wrong thoughts and deeds and prays that God will bless him, is like farmer who, having sown weeds, asks God to bring forth for him a harvest of wheat. If you want to be blessed, scatter blessings. If you want to be happy, consider happiness of others.
