Destined to Succeed?

Just because we are destined to do something doesn’t mean it will automatically happen. In order to succeed at anything, you must maintain your confidence in God.

David writes, “My times are in Thy hands” (Psalm 31:15). What times? Times when you feel like quitting. Times when you wonder if God really called you to do this. Times when you wonder if you will ever get through this. Times when God will have to correct you. Times when you will have to rise above your circumstances and say, “I am sufficient in God’s sufficiency.”

Do not wait for others to come along and encourage you. Learn to do it yourself. David had no one to believe in him, so he believed in God within him. If you don’t believe in yourself, you don’t believe in God, for God can only do through you what you believe Him to do.

So, be confident about your ability in Christ. Believe that you indeed hear from God, and that He is leading you. Be bold in the Lord. Rise up today, and decide that you can do all things through Christ who strengthens you.
