hardship

Where is your focus?

The secret to endurance is to keep your eyes and desire focused on Me and My Love for you. Do not look at yourself and your hardship. That will lead to emotional pressure and self-pity. Do not look for escape. That will lead to frustration and anger. Look only at Me. Focus on My Presence and My Voice. Isaiah 41:13 For I am the LORD your God who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you. Romans 12:1-2 Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. 2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will. Romans 8:17-18 Now if we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory.18 I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us. Romans :28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; 6 in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.

Training to Rule

I did not ask My Father to take you out of this world. You are in training to rule with Me. Leaders are not trained to avoid hardship and conflict. No, their training leads them right into exercises of trials and tribulations. That is where they learn who they really are and what they really need. John 17:14-16   I have given them your word, and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. 15 I do not ask that you take them out of the world, but that you keep them from the evil one. 16 They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. James 1:2-5  2 Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds 3 because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance.  4 Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. 5 If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.
