Do not fear when you face struggles, because these things I can use to lead you. I am in control still, and I will work all things together for good, says the Lord.
When a stream starts and it runs through the landscape, it runs into blockages and hits up against the land. And it winds back and forth, but it keeps going. Each time the water hits something, it changes direction.
If it had not bumped into something, it would carry on in the same way and never change. It might have gone a different way across the land, and it would never reach the place that it did.
This is how it is in your life, says the Lord. Each time you struggle or come up against opposition, it changes you a little. And the enemy brings this opposition to destroy you, and stop you from reaching the goal.
But I use it for good, because I know the true goal. And what the enemy does not know is that I used this to lead you. I used the opposition to change your direction and bring you to the place I want you to be.
So do not get discouraged when you face the attack of the enemy. Because it means that I will lead you into something greater, says the Lord. Rejoice and laugh in the face of the enemy.
Then look to me and let me lead you. Ask me for my direction, so that you can move forward and walk in my blessing.
Amen
