Philippians 1:9-11 says, “And this I pray, that your love may abound still more and more in knowledge and all discernment, that you may approve the things that are excellent, that you may be sincere and without offense till the day of Christ, being filled with the fruits of righteousness which are by Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.”
The best antidote to struggle is the anointing from God. The anointing is why Christ is Christ. The anointing allows arguments and agitation not to annoy a person. The anointing helps to deliver people from depression and despair.
The Lord’s will is perfect. When the Apostle Paul asked three times for the thorn to be removed for his flesh, God responded by saying, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness”( 2 Corinthians 12:9). We know the Lord allows His children to experience various trials and tribulations.
His permissive will intends for Him to get the glory and His children to testify how faith in Him can pull you through anything! Matthew 24:13 says he that endures to the end shall be saved. God wants us to go through difficulty and disappointment because the end product of struggle and adversity is strength and assurance.
Romans 8:36-37 says, “For Your sake we are killed all day long; We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.” Job 14:1 states, “Man who is born of woman is of few days and full of trouble.” Christians know persecution, pressure, and provocation come from merely believing in Jesus Christ as one’s Lord and Savior.
