Acts 26:2
I think myself happy, king Agrippa, because I shall answer for myself this day before thee touching all the things whereof I am accused…
There are three keys to you overcoming a trial in the wilderness. 1. Cry. Jesus wept. David and his mighty men wept when it was time to mourn. There is a season for that, but don’t stay there! You walk through the valley of the shadow of death. Don’t make a home there. 2. Don’t let that sorrow make you bitter. Magnify the Lord. Don’t magnify that negative circumstance. Keep his praise on your lips, and you’ll hold the victory in your hand. You will come out of that wilderness strong and courageous! 3. Just like Paul, think yourself happy! As a man thinks in his heart, so is he. Keep your mind on the Word of God. Meditate on it day and night! You will come through every trial in the wilderness!
You are more than a conqueror. It doesn’t matter what you face. The God who is the King of Kings and Lord of Lords has a plan for you. It is a plan to prosper and not harm you, to give you hope and a future. God is preparing a table for you in the presence of your enemies. Your trials in the wilderness are going to lead to a powerful testimony. You are going from glory to glory this week!
