Though the road is rough; though the going is hard; though you have to suffer for God’s name sake, God has a higher purpose for you. He is preparing you for the times that He will show Himself mighty in you. That’s right – God wants to show His power in you: Power to save; power to heal; power to set free; power to love; power to bring down strongholds. He has chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise. He has chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty. He has chosen the base things of the world, and the things which are despised to bring to naught the things that are so that no flesh should glory in His presence. So say to yourself, “My God knows all about what I am going through. My God knows when I hurt. He knows when I am sad. Therefore, I will stay focused on His will for my life. I will stay focused on His word. I believe that My God is preparing me for something special in this life. I believe that He is raising me up to bring Him honor and glory, and that His name may be declared throughout all the earth.”
