"Faith is not the belief that God will do what you want. It is the belief that God will do what is right." - Max Lucado
A young man had experienced pain so much that people advised him to go for deliverance. Everywhere he turned, there seemed to be an issue. His slogan became, "it will get worse" because somehow problems he never thought about kept coming up. To crown it all, he was born again, devoted, committed and loved God wholeheartedly. This young man needed help, but the more he prayed the worse it got. He had goals to achieve but the year was almost over, and nothing seemed to happen for him.
One of the greatest lies anyone can be told is that, being born again insulates you from trouble. As a matter of fact, becoming born again attracts troubles: pressed down, shaken together and running over into your life. Sorry to burst your bubble. But one truth is, you become qualified for victory. Everybody that God wants to use has got to come out of a situation where it's got to be proven that it's God that's doing it. And the longer you wait for something, the longer your resources are dried up. The reason is because God's purpose for His children is shrouded in time. Until your appointed time for blessing, lifting and breakthrough comes, troubles will overshadow you.
You're so banged up, buffeted and beaten now so that when you finally, get there, you'll look up to heaven and say, "it had to be God." As the year comes to an end and your hands are full with troubles everywhere. You're wondering did I make a mistake serving God? No sir, He makes all things beautiful in His time. Don't get it twisted. Remember Naaman? Your story is about to hit the front cover of magazines. God' s got to take the glory. Just hang in there.
