It was for freedom that Christ set us free; therefore keep standing firm and do not be subject again to a yoke of slavery” (Galatians 5:1, NAS).
So many people today are missing out on the freedom that God has in store for them simply because they’re always running from their adversities. They’re continually running from their challenges or difficulties, content to stay right where they are. And I know that it’s sometimes difficult to stand against the enemy. It can be uncomfortable to confront our challenges in order to take hold of freedom. But I believe that it is actually more difficult to run from our challenges than it is to stand and face them.
See, if you’ll face your challenges, then it will only be a temporary difficulty. But if you spend your whole life running from your challenges, it’s as if they never go away—like a ball and chain around your ankle, those challenges will follow you everywhere you go. But that doesn’t have to be you! Instead, stand firm on God’s promises. Declare His Word over your life. Ask God to give you wisdom and direction as you face the difficulties in your life so that you can take hold of the freedom He has prepared for you!
Commit to the Lord whatever you do and your plans will succeed (Proverbs 16:3)
In order to fulfill your destiny, you have to make a plan according to God’s purposes and stay focused to fulfill that plan. Wake up each day knowing where you’re headed, which direction you are taking and what you are going to accomplish —- and then stick with it! Don’t allow the distractions and business of life get you off course. Ask yourself, ” Is what I am doing moving me towards my God-given destiny? Is this my purpose in life or am I just wasting time being busy and not really making any progress?” Proverbs 4:25 says, ” Keep your eyes fixed straight ahead. Don’t look to the left and don’t look to the right.” Don’t be distracted and spend your time and energy on things that are not helping you fulfill your destiny.
Remember, God’s plans are blessed, and as you walk in His plan for your life, you will experience His abundance in everything you set your hand to!
