When you stand on the truth of God’s word, expect opposition. Not everyone wants to know or hear the truth from God’s word because it is revealing and may exposed some areas of weakness in the super saints. Opposition will seek out the man or woman true to the word of God. Bible based ministry stirs up opposition because most people do not understand the word of God. When this happens all you need to know is that, “if Christ be for you, He is more than the world against you.” Trials and struggles are there to build us up in the faith.
Being alone or a stranger doesn’t always have to be a bad thing. No one knows about your past. People are not able to remind you of what you use to be. You can grow unrecognized because no one is paying you any attention. You can be insulated from the dangers that surround you. Before you know it, you are able to stand on your own.
I share this with you because of what God showed me through His creation. I really struggled one morning on my way to Tuesday morning worship. I did not have a clue what God was going to say or do through me that morning and it was frustrating. As I started down the front walkway and steps of the church He spoke loud and clear. A flower, unrelated to any species of plant in the immediate vicinity, stood head and shoulders above the shrubbery aligning the walk way.
I said WOW! In spite of its’ circumstances and living conditions, it made it through. It was a beautiful flower. It had a purpose. It was to bloom where it was planted. However it got there, it fulfilled its purpose. In spite of the obstacles it faced, it grew up through a thick hedge row and fulfilled its purpose. Don’t run from where God has you. BLOOM WHERE YOU ARE PLANTED!
