I’ve lived long enough to know that obstacles are key ingredients in our quest of being all we are called to be. Â Facing and handling obstacles in a healthy way is a great way to grow character.
When facing an obstacle, the enemy tries his darnedest to fill us with fear of failure so we will throw in the towel and quit–which results in no personal growth at all.
God, on the other hand, views obstacles as setbacks for setups for success. Â In God’s eyes, obstacles are opportunities to grow even if it means going in a different direction.
An effective way to handle obstacles is by praying for the knowledge of God’s will on how He views the obstacle, and the power to handle it the way He wants you to handle it.
God will help you turn your obstacles into blessings.
Romans 8:28 (NIV), “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.”
Reflection:
