Even In Tough Times

Everyone has a middle story, and many of you are living in yours right now. You’ve moved past the initial romance phase of your new faith in Christ—just like a newlywed couple who initially overlook each other’s flaws. But over time, little habits, like socks on the bathroom floor, reveal areas that need growth. David, too, had a middle story filled with challenges. This phase teaches us to love God and trust Him as we face valleys and enemies in our lives. Even in tough times, remember that adversaries can only use what they have to serve the purposes of God in your life. Embrace your middle story. Recognize the growth that it offers, and trust that each challenge shapes you for a greater purpose. More than ever before, it’s time to pray.
