CELEBRATE WHEN THE SQUEEZE IS ON
For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more
exceeding and eternal weight of glory; While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not
seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not
seen are eternal (2 Corinthians 4:17-18).
Why should a Christian read the scriptures, like our theme verse above, and still gripe and moan about challenges? It makes no difference the pressure you face from the adversary; refuse to
give in. Never be flustered by circumstances or threats.
Christ lives in you and He’s the greater One. Therefore, when you face crises, declare, “Greater is He that’s in me than all the adversities and adversaries that could ever come against me!” Whatever you may
be going through today is a light affliction; it came “to pass.” So refuse to allow anything steal your joy.
Even our transient troubles produce for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory. The Word says so; hence, it’s the only outcome to expect. That’s why you must rejoice in the face of adversity. James
1:2 (TPT) says, “…when it seems as though you are facing nothing but difficulties see it as an invaluable opportunity to experience the greatest joy that you can!”
Celebrate and rejoice in the Lord when the squeeze is on. Don’t focus on the problem. Fix your gaze on Jesus, the author and finisher of your faith. In Him, you triumph ALWAYS, and in every situation. Glory to God!
CONFESSION
I rejoice in the Lord, His eternal Word, and power to put me over all adversities. The Lord is the strength of my life, and I fear nothing and no one. In Him, I triumph gloriously always and in every situation,
reigning in righteousness, and growing in grace, wisdom, and knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.
