GOD IS STILL IN CONTROL- EVEN WHEN IT DOESN'T FEEL LIKE IT

 BE OF GOOD COURAGE — GOD IS STILL IN CONTROL

Where God opens a door for His purposes, we should not be surprised when opposition arises.

Not everyone will understand the calling upon your life. Some may question it, others may resist it, and there will be those who seek to discourage you. But remember this: No person has the power to overturn what God has purposed.

Paul understood this when he wrote:

“For a great and effective door has opened to me, and there are many adversaries.” — 1 Corinthians 16:9 (NKJV)

Notice that the presence of opposition did not mean the door was closed. The opportunity and the opposition existed together.

So do not allow the activity of others to become the centre of your attention. Keep your eyes upon Jesus. Walk in wisdom, exercise discernment, but do not surrender your peace to fear or distraction.

And remember, our battle is not against flesh and blood. People are not the enemy, and we must never allow opposition to rob us of the love of Christ.

Be watchful, but be courageous. Be discerning, but remain gracious. Be steadfast, but keep your heart tender before the Lord.

The God who called you is faithful, and He is more than able to accomplish His purposes.

Do not become so occupied with those who oppose you that you lose sight of the One who has called you.

Keep walking. Keep trusting. Keep your eyes upon Jesus.

The victory belongs to Him.

“If God is for us, who can be against us?” — Romans 8:31 (NKJV)
