Today I want to share the devotional from The Spoken Word Church website.
Utilize Adversity
Opposition gives birth to opportunity. Adversity reveals the location of your enemy. It forces you to evaluate what you really believe.
Do not be timid. Do not fear. Observe. Analyze. Make your decision boldly. God will lead, guide and direct you. Every achiever recalls that adversity unlocked doors to his greatest acheivements.
"For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory." (2 Corinthians 4:17)
"No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is of me, saith the Lord." (Isaiah 54:17)
"So shall they fear the name of the Lord from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord shall lift up a standard against him." (Isaiah 59:19)
37 Yet amid all these things we are more than conquerors and gain a surpassing victory through Him Who loved us.
There is no need for conquering without something to conquer! Learn to look at every situation, every circumstance, every trial, test or tribulation as an opportunity to show forth the wonderful works of God and give HIM all the GLORY! AMEN! Here is Hillsong with "Desert Song":
Shalom in Him!
