Don't Run From Trouble

Anchor Scripture

Lamentations 3:30 (MSG)

Don’t run from trouble. Take it full-face. The “worst” is never the worst.

Have you ever heard phrases like “Let the sleeping dog lie”? What do you think they are trying to communicate? They are trying to say, “Don't look for my trouble.” This is one of the mindsets of many believers in the church. They avoid trouble.

I am not advocating that we should go around looking for trouble, but we are not to run from one if it shows up. For agreeing to preach this gospel and live for Christ, some troubles will definitely come to you, and our theme scripture is saying to you and me today, “Don't run from trouble; take it full-face.”

Sometimes, the comfort we want in life is our major hindrance to the growth God wants to introduce you to.

Don't you know that the level you are believing God for comes with some form of trouble? Then, are you going to say because the level comes with those troubles, you'd rather stay where you are?

Life is not beautiful without troubles, so long as you are not the one bringing them. I charge you today to face them and come back with the victory. Amen.

Prayer

I am ready and backed by the Lord for whatever life throws at me, and I know that greater is he that is in me than he that is in the world. Amen.
