Amen. And amen. You may be seated. God wants us to go from strength to strength. He wants us to go from glory to glory. We sang about it a few minutes ago, how he wants to take us from glory to glory. He wants us to go higher and higher. But sometimes when we’re trying to get higher, we’re trying to go to more strength, we’re trying to get through, we find that we’re going from struggle to struggle. See, God doesn’t want us to go from struggle to struggle.
His intention is for us to go from strength to strength. And can I tell you today, we all face this challenge. One day we’re doing good, the next day we’re struggling. We’re trying to get out of a situation. We’re trying to get to another situation. Maybe if you’re struggling today, you need to hear this one word. Rest. Just rest.
See, the truth is, we’re going to get to where God wants us to be if we’re honoring him. If we put him first place, if we take time to get his plans and his words in our heart and in our life, we’re not going to get to where we need to be any quicker if we worry, if we struggle, or if we’re frustrated. So today, I just want to say if you find yourself struggling, rest.
Rest in God’s peace. Abide in his joy. That’s where you’re going to find your strength. That is where you are going to endure and find great persistence. God is always trying to get us higher. So, we’re always going to be facing something in our life. Listen to what it says in James 1:4.
