I know that you can do all things, and no purpose of yours can be thwarted. Job 42:2 -ESV

Have you ever felt like the Lord was distant in a trial or challenge? What if it was something He has called you to do? Why would He have allowed this to be so hard if this is my purpose? Is this my calling or did I misunderstand what he told me to do? Things to remember when faced with obstacles of life:

• God never leaves us nor forsakes us, but He will stand watch in absence of us to test our might and resolve: Remember Job
• Each one of us has been given a mission to achieve, for the Lord, that is our purpose and what He has called us to complete for His will
• Even though God gives us direction, it doesn’t mean we are free from trials. Strength and experience comes from the storms we combat, but it is success that is seen from enduring the storm to finish our task

Our strength comes from within, we have the resources commanded from the creator of this universe. He has called us to be Lions to roam free of fear and oppression of the evil one. Remember David was challenged by a bear, and Lion before God handed Goliath over to him. Remain in faith, endure the trial with praise, and seek Him first above all.

Worthy are you, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they existed and were created. Rev 4:11 -ESV
