Thought For Today: Challenges – Your Opportunity to Show Forth the Glory of God


And the Lord said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil? (Job 1:8).

The story of Job in the Old Testament reveals how God demonstrates confidence in us. He believed so much in Job and had confidence in his integrity that He challenged Satan with it. He does the same with us today. Ephesians 2:10 says “For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.”

Just like every good manufacturer brags about his product, God also boasts of you because you’re His offspring; His specially crafted masterpiece; and He believes in what He has made. He made you so perfect and reposes all trust and confidence in you; to Him, you’re top-notch! He’s confident that you’ll soar above any challenge that comes your way, knowing the stuff you’re made of! He knows that you’re more than a conqueror. Therefore, He’s unperturbed by how much trouble the devil throws at you! He is confident of His product—YOU—and He is not cautious to declare your authenticity anywhere.

No matter the trials and challenges that may come your way this month, rejoice for they represent opportunities for you to manifest the greater glory and manifold wisdom of your heavenly Father. He knows you’re capable of handling any situation. 1 Corinthians 10:13 says “There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.” The Lord has made you able and sufficient to bear all things and overcome every challenging circumstance that may come your way! Remember this month is the month of increased glory. Hallelujah!
