Today is Tuesday, December 4th, 2018, and here is your daily devote. Have you ever noticed that not everyone is responsible enough to enjoy certain blessings in life? How many times have we watched athletes or singers get rich at a young age and be bankrupt within a decade? Most of the time, they weren't prepared to handle the fame and fortune.
In a much bigger way, God knows what it will take to prepare us for the wonderful future awaiting us. God knows what we need in order to conform us into the image of Christ so that we can be ready for the inheritance. That's why sometimes he does not always rescue us from hardship and suffering. Instead, he lets us be trained by the hard times, the distress, and the want so we can be the type of people who enjoy the blessings he has prepared for us.
We see this truth in the life of Joseph. He suffered greatly at his brother's hands, but God used this event in Joseph's life to prepare him for his future role. Think about this. What are some ways you intentionally put a strain on your body in order to be better prepared for the future?
How can the same truth apply to our character? What challenges have you faced that prepared you to handle future challenges and blessings? Thanks for listening to the Daily Depot. I would love to connect with you either on social media or you can send me an email at adambertton.net.
Oh, please share this. Why get sent it to somebody who it might be a benefit to? God bless.
