Use The Difficulty For Good

Every believer will face seasons of difficulty. These moments can feel overwhelming, but in the hands of God, they become instruments of growth and transformation. The struggles we endure are not wasted, for the Lord has a way of weaving even the darkest threads into a tapestry of purpose.

Joseph’s life is a shining example. Betrayed by his brothers, falsely accused, and forgotten in prison, he could have been crushed by bitterness. Yet in time he declared, “But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good” (Genesis 50:20 KJV). What was intended to harm became the very means by which God saved many lives.

So it is with us. The Lord is more than able to take the trials we face and turn them into testimonies. Our pain can become the platform for His glory if we continue to trust in His faithfulness.
