Romans 5:3 NKJV
And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance;
Romans 5:3 NKJV
Paul saw everything through the purposes of God. He saw the victory and found the benefits in everything that happened, for he knew that no matter what the condition may be, the provision of God never disappears, and those who stay in alignment with Christ will reap the benefits at the end of every challenge that comes our way.
Paul does not only glory in the successes, celebration of the miracles, salvations of souls, and believers maturing in the Lord. Paul also took glory in shaping himself through the trials and tribulations that took place in his life, which reveals the depth of his anchor in Christ.
If our lives are shaken by things, it means our anchor needs to be strengthened. It is not about praying and asking God to strengthen it for us, but we need to start standing on what God has already set for us to stand.
We take everything that comes our way as a tool to deepen our walk with God, to sharpen our discernment in the midst of many voices, and to align our steps according to His word.
By having a victor's mentality, we always look forward to a solution, are always lifted with assurance, and are encouraged by the love our Father has towards us.
The truth is our Father in heaven knows everything that is needed for mankind to live according to His image and His likeness. He provided all that through His Son, Jesus Christ.
Let us not waste any of the sacrifices Jesus took for our sakes and start living victoriously no matter what comes our way.
Live in the blessings,
Ps Ambrose
