Stepping Stones to Destiny....

For the ones that are trying to break you. In the spirit realm they really are making you. God will prepare a table for you before you enemies! For that alone we should praise God for his faithfulness.

Life on earth is tough to live just being an average human being. Making a choice to live for God in this world can be an even more difficult task depending on what situation he has brought you from. Everyone has enemies. They might not talk about your or mistreat you directly but there are enemies everywhere. If we didn't have them then the Devils wouldn't have a successful game plan here on earth influencing God's creation. We would all support each others endeavors and Love would flow so much more freely. Well, we are not in that perfect world but we do serve a perfect God that will help us through our lives if we choose to follow him and do what Jesus would do in every situation of our life. Does this mean that you wouldn't be tested? absolutely not, its how you handle the test when it comes. 

God has you covered:

There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it. I Corinthians 10:13

If we stand for Christ in tough times he will only allow it to go on for only so long and if you can withstand the situation you will come out far more blessed then where you were before. Think of the story of Job. He went through worse than anyone that I know but he chose God. He praised with through the pain, through a mourning soul and even through the negative darts that came from the bitter heart of his wife. In the end God restored him far beyond anything he would have ever imagined. 

I was the one that seemed to always get picked out of the crowd and people would feel as though they needed to either talk about me behind my back or say some passive aggressive comments to me as if I had no clue that they was trying to be rude. It use to bother me but instead of dwelling on the issue I loved and praised God through it. No it was NOT easy. I was being lied about, talked about, treated like I didn't exist. So I started to envision every negative word as a stepping stone over water. I could have chosen to get back at them and drown, or get my feet wet but instead I made those situations stones so that I could walk over to the other side. Every journey is different but you will cross over something, Could be a puddle, a stream, a lake or an ocean but you will cross over something. The good news is, when you put a visual in your head it gives you hope and an expected end. 

 He made a covenant for us to have peace:

For the mountains shall depart, and the hills be removed; but my kindness shall not depart from thee neither shall the covenant of my peace be removed, saith the Lord that hath mercy on thee. Isaiah 54:10

His kindness and his peace will always be with us we must remind ourselves that its a covenant. This is why we are to read the Bible daily because the Word of God brings life and it powerful enough to remove the pain and strife and give us hope again.  So with that being said. Keep your mind stayed on Christ through the storm. Ask God to remove any feelings that are not like him and fill you with is peace and kindness. He will do it and as you lay down the stepping stones, you will reach your destiny in no time. May the peace of God be with you.
