1 Kings 20:40
"And as thy servant was busy here and there, he was gone. And the king of Israel said unto him, So shall thy judgment be; thyself hast decided it."
A prophet of God said this parable to Ahab the king of Israel because he did not follow God's commandment instead he was caught up in his own interests. It is not easy to discover what God's purpose is for you and you can never discover it if you sit back and let things happen on their own. When you have discovered God's purpose your duty is to fulfill it regardless of your circumstances and situations. Don't let go of God's purpose because of your own interests.

He faced what God put him up against..
Hosea 12:4
He struggled with the angel and overcame him; he wept and begged for his favor. He found him at Bethel and talked with him there.
Blessings don't come easy that is why you have to prove your worth in order for you to receive them. Jacob fought for his because he knew that he would be rewarded if he prevailed and that is what he exactly did he prevailed against all odds. Our strength comes from the Lord and if we can no longer go on, on our own we need to go back to the source of our strength.

Because of your suffering many can be saved..
Genesis 50:20
""And Joseph said unto them, Fear not: for am I in the place of God? But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive."
If Joseph hadn't gone through the suffering that he went through many wouldn't have survived the famine that was upon Egypt. This serves as evidence that we can never determine what will take place in our lives however through faith and wisdom from God every suffering that we go through has its own fruits to bear for the good of His purpose. Usually at the time of our suffering everything seems to be going wrong but after He has given us the strength to go on only then do we realize what the purpose of these sufferings was for. Hang on and let God take His place in your life.

Faith without fear..
Genesis 22:7-8
"And Isaac spake unto Abraham his father, and said, My father: and he said, Here am I, my son. And he said, Behold the fire and the wood: but where is the lamb for a burnt offering? And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering: so they went both of them together."
God tempted Abraham's faith by asking him to sacrifice his only beloved son as a burnt offering. When He requested this He already knew that He was going to provide a substitute for Isaac but what He needed to know from Abraham was how far his faith would take him. Abraham had faith enough to tell his son that "God will provide for himself a lamb" where God spoke nothing with regards to providing a lamb but because that's what Abraham believed that's what God gave him. "what's impossible to men is possible to God".

In touch..
 |
Daniel 10: 17-18
For how can the servant of this my lord talk with this my lord? for as for me, straightway there remained no strength in me, neither is there breath left in me. Then there came again and touched me one like the appearance of a man, and he strengthened me.
Daniel was out of breath, words, and strength when he came into contact with God’s word. Even though he was in the holiest state he felt like he didn’t deserve to have an encounter with God because of God’s supremacy. In that moment of his weakness he got a chance to be in touch with God and was made strong by Him because that’s what God’s touch does to us it strengthens us during our moments of weakness and gives us courage to face our battles with confidence because we know that He is with us. Maybe this is the right time for God’s touch to strengthen you through everything that you’ve gone through you need His touch.

inner me..
Psalms 42:5
New International Version
Why, my soul, are you downcast? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior and my God.
There are lots of things that we come across that can bring our spirit down but that doesn’t mean that we should allow it to stay down. If we can win the battle against our inner self then we can approach any outward battle with confidence. Through faith the inner person is made strong hence that is why David had the courage to lift up his own spirit by reminding it that there is hope in God. Don’t allow your inner person to drag you down but lift your spirit up by praising the Lord because in Him there is comfort and victory.

You still have a chance...
2 Peter 3: 8
But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
The God that we praise Jehovah the Lord of hosts is a loving God that is why I am confident enough to say to you today you still have a chance to change your ways. I say a day of good deeds done in His name is as a thousand years to Him because he never forgets and a thousand years of doing evil works is as a day to Him because He is quick to forgive. When you have no one else to turn to, turn to Lord because He is always there for you and when everybody else has turned against you, turn to the Lord because He loves you.
