It’s easy to have a good attitude and pursue our dreams as
long as everything is going our way. That doesn’t take a lot of faith. But what
about the difficult times? It’s easy to lose your passion when you’re hurt. Too
many people are sitting on the sidelines of life because they’re injured. Now
they’re nursing their wounds, not moving forward because of what they’ve been
through.
The bible says, “To all who mourn in Israel, he will give a
crown of beauty for ashes, a joyous blessing instead of mourning, festive
praise instead of despair. In their righteousness, they will be like great oaks
that the LORD has planted for his own glory.” God promised He will give you
beauty for those ashes. He said He would pay you back double for the wrongs but
you have to do your part. If you’re going to see the beauty, you have to shake
off the ashes of self-pity. You’ve got to shake off the discouragement and get
back in the game.
Every person has injuries. We all have wounds but you can’t
let that be an excuse to sit on the sidelines. Today, I want to encourage you
to get back in the game. Know that your best days are still ahead. Trust that God
sees the big picture and He’s still working things together for your good. Now
is not the time to shrink back! Keep your focus on God’s plan because He has a
come back lined up for you beyond anything you’ve ever seen in the past!
