What's Your Attitude in Adversity?

TODAY'S SCRIPTURE

"Though the fig tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines, though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food, though there are no sheep in the pen and no cattle in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will be joyful in God my Savior"

(Habakkuk 3:17-18, NIV)

TODAY'S WORD from Joel and Victoria

We all face challenges, difficulties, and times when things don't go our way. God doesn't send these storms, but He will allow us to go through certain things in order to shape our character and prove our faith. Really, it's in our times of difficulty that we grow and develop.

God wants to use the tough times in our lives to do a work in us. He wants to strengthen and develop us. Our attitude in times of adversity is the evidence of our maturity. Are we going to treat people right even when we’re being mistreated? Are we going to stay full of joy even when the bottom falls out? Are we going to be faithful even in the dry seasons of our lives when we don't see anything good happening?

It may take more effort. You may have to work harder to keep a good attitude, but remember, attitude is the key to your promotion. As you keep that positive attitude of faith and expectancy, even in times of adversity, God will deliver you and move you forward into the destiny He has prepared for you!
 
Father, thank You for being a God who gives...and takes away. In looking back after I have safely made it through the toughest times in my life, I see how You shaped my faith and my life through adversity. I praise You for deeming me worthy enough to mold. Please continue to guide my life and make me all I am supposed to be in, and through, You. In Jesus' name, amen.
 
"The joy of the Lord is [our] strength." Nehemiah 8:10

Hallelujah!
