At just the right time.

Do you know how God can use someone at just the right time, to say just the right thing?

There is a lot going on in my life right now.......with a lot of uncertainty ahead. I am trusting that God has used the adversity of the last two years to culminate into something quite remarkable on the other side. My beautiful wife certainly believes this to be the case. It was the case for David and I can see parrallels in his life and mine.

My sister forwarded this snipet from Joel Olstein. Not that I'm a big JO fan, but the words were encouraging and came at just the right time.

Seeing Adversity The Right Way

Anytime God is about to take you to a new level you're going to face opposition. There will be new battles to fight and new obstacles to overcome. It's easy to get discouraged and think, "Why is this happening?" But we have to change our thinking and focus on the fact that on the other side of those challenges is a new level of victory--a new level of success.

David would only be known as a shepherd boy if it weren't for Goliath. David's enemy became the tool that God used to promote him. And God will do the same in your life today. He'll use those challenges and difficulties in your life to catapult you towards success! If you are going through a hard time today, if things look impossible, don't give up now. Change your perspective and believe that God is working behind the scenes. Put a smile on your face and stand in confidence knowing that you are a child of the Most High God.

When all is said and done, you're not just going to come out of that difficulty, but you're coming out stronger, wiser, and better than you were before! That problem is going to be the catalyst for God to open supernatural doors of opportunity for you! Stand strong in the Lord today and trust that what the enemy meant for your harm, God will turn around and use to your advantage. He'll take you places you never dreamed and cause you to rise higher and higher in every area of your life!
