23- July     Knock With Confidence

2 Timothy 2:3  Endure hardship with us like a good soldier of Christ Jesus. (NIV)

 

Hardship is just something to be dealt with on the way to a much higher and more important goal. Soldiers don’t talk about hardship — they talk about progress towards the end objective. Not so for many job seekers. They talk about the length of the search, the
number of unanswered resumes, their shortage of money, and the things they’ve lost. Where’s the high purpose that’s driving them in their search? We were told to expect trials and tribulations. If we choose we can allow these hardships to build our faith, and we can reap a harvest of steadfastness and confidence from our continued endurance. So fight on, soldier!

 
DECLARE THIS:
• I am prepared for hardship and willing to go through it to get to the promise.
• By faith I believe that God works all things together for my good.
• I thank God that I am empowered by the Holy Spirit and can stand strong in times of adversity.
