Every great invention came behind the struggles of many failures. If
you never try then you will never know if you can make it. How can
you tell your success story if you never find out what you are
successful at in life? Success is a byproduct of your struggles.

So often in life we never want to associate struggles with the will
of God. This is not true. Struggles are sometimes His will. If you
never struggle then how would you know what it is to move to your
next level? If you never struggle then how would know the
Omnipotence of God? If you never struggle then how would know that
God will be your strong tower? If you never struggled...

To trust God is to know God. To know God is to understand His
nature. To know God's nature is to understand that He would never
put more on you than you can bear. To understand that He would never
put more on you means that you understand that struggles are
sometimes His will.

If you decided today that nothing would ever turn you from trusting
and believing God then you would begin to understand that your
struggles are all a part of God's master plan for your life. If He
has masterminded the plan, then surely you already have the victory.
Who would mastermind their own defeat? Not the awesome God that we
serve. Not the God who knew you before you were ever formed in your
mother's womb. Not the God who sat on His hands as His only begotten
Son said that He would bear all the sins of this world for us. He
knew your struggles, but He sat back calmly because He already knew
your ending. He is Alpha and Omega.

So today know that your success is a byproduct of your struggles.
Sometimes in life you have to struggle in order that you may be
prepared for your next level in God. Your struggles are only
temporary, but your victory is eternal. Therefore be like Job today
and declare Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him: but I will
maintain mine own ways before him.


Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him: but I will maintain mine
own ways before him.

Job 13:15
