“And the second he called Ephraim [to be fruitful], For [he said] God has caused me to be fruitful in the land of my affliction.” - Genesis 41:52 AMPC
As moms, as women, and finally, as humans, we can go through a lot.
Life sometimes throws wrenches and lemons when we were hoping for blissful sunsets and delicious berry pies.
That’s okay.
Guess what?
We don’t have to be victims of our circumstances.
We have a choice…to sink down into what’s happening and lose hope, or to rise above and cling to hope like the lifeline that it is.
God, through His Son, Jesus Christ, has given us all that we need to lead and live victorious, overcoming lives!
“Little children, you are of God [you belong to Him] and have [already] defeated and overcome them [the agents of the antichrist], because He Who lives in you is greater (mightier) than he who is in the world.” - 1 John 4:4 AMPC
“I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have [perfect] peace and confidence. In the world you have tribulation and trials and distress and frustration; but be of good cheer [take courage; be confident, certain, undaunted]! For I have overcome the world. [I have deprived it of power to harm you and have conquered it for you.]” - John 16:33 AMPC
“They conquered him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, for they did not love their lives in the face of death.”- Revelation 12:11 HCSB
Sin has messed up a once beautifully perfect world.
This means that bad things can happen and perfection is unachievable this side of Heaven.
Let’s also be very clear though, God did not, does not, and never is the cause of bad situations or happenings. Sin is.
God is the Equipper, the Empowerer, the Overcomer, the One Who Has Won it all.
Through Him, through Jesus Christ, we have all hope, all life, all love, and all empowerment to rise above whatever negative things might be happening and to see them turned for good in our lives.
“And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them.” - Romans 8:28 NLT
We have no reason at all to fear, ever.
Just as God turned Joseph’s hard situation for immense good (Genesis 37, 39-47), so He wants to turn your hard things for good as well.
Through Christ we are more than conquerors!
We CAN do this, mamas!
“So, what does all this mean? If God has determined to stand with us, tell me, who then could ever stand against us?” - Romans 8:31 TPT
“Don’t love money; be satisfied with what you have. For God has said, “I will never fail you. I will never abandon you.” So we can say with confidence, “The Lord is my helper, so I will have no fear. What can mere people do to me?”” - Hebrews 13:5-6 NLT
Be encouraged today, dear mother!
God brings dead things to life and He is more than willing and able to take those hard, hurtful, and dead things in your life, and redeem and restore them back to new life and to better life than ever before!
You’ve got this!!
He is WITH you!
Much love to you, mamas.
