Day 2093 of the 7 day Bible verse challenge.

Micah 7:8 NIV

We will rise! No matter what you're going through you will make it. I was finishing up the book of Micah last night and this verse in chapter 7 really stood out with what we talked about yesterday. God is truly the epitome of faithfulness. He has always held up His end of the deal He has always fulfilled His promises. And He will always continue to do so!

So many things and people want to see us broken. They want to see us hanging our heads in defeat. And whenever we allow our circumstances to get us down we give them that satisfaction. Whenever we allow ourselves to sulk or feel sorry for ourselves then we're letting ourselves become victims to the difficult situations that we're in the middle of.

But as we discussed a few days ago, God made us to be conquerors. He designed us to take on this world and overcome the evil within it. He gave us His Spirit to help guide us through the minefield of life. He gave us every tool, every weapon, every opportunity to make it through life's storms with our heads held high and our eyes fixed on Christ.

We've simply allowed ourselves to forget that. We've allowed our focus to drift from Him and His promises to our challenges and the uneasy feelings that they bring. It's time we take that back. It's time that we remember that God is always with us. It's time that we remember that He will never change His plans for us. He will never fail to fulfill His promises. He will never fail to be the faithful God that He's always been!

Look, we're going to have bad days. We're going to get it handed to us from time to time. We're even going to seriously screw things up and make the worst possible choices sometimes. It's okay. We're still alive, still breathing. And as long as that's the case then we still have the opportunity to pull ourselves together, allow Him to help us back to our feet, and hit it again. It was never meant to be easy, but that doesn't mean that it was meant to beat us either!
