Needing Nothing

Life can sometimes knock you down. It seems that around every corner, you hit a stumbling-block. Your circumstances make you start to doubt God’s promises for your life. You become discouraged, and disappointment takes hold of your emotions, especially when it seems you are stuck, and nothing is happening. 

Get up and push through and move forward by faith, despite what you see. Don’t worry. Be encouraged. Trust in God. Understand that adverse circumstances allow God to show us where we are spiritually. 

Our roadblocks may slow us down, but they prepare us for where our Father wants to take us. Our temporary troubles test our faith but build up endurance, and when our patience is fully developed, we will be perfect and complete, needing nothing. (James 1:2-4)

Just remember that God has not abandoned you. He will make a way for you and will restore everything the enemy has stolen. God will restore your joy. He will give you peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7). 

Prayer: Lord, thank You for Your sovereign wisdom. Please show me the lessons in my circumstances. Help me to respond in a way that pleases You so that I might be fully developed, perfect, and complete, needing nothing. In Jesus’ name, amen.
