God will allow you to be stung, because he knows it will make you stronger once you're out of that situation, he has put you in.

 

If you have faith in the Lord, then you will make it through everything he puts you through. He doesn’t just give you the strength you’ve asked for. He puts you through the fire, because he needs to teach you the lesson for it to stick.

 

By doing this, it allows your faith in him to increase too.

 

If he doesn’t put you through challenges, then you may not feel like there is any reason to change as a person and evolve into someone new.

​

God can absolutely change your life in a heartbeat, but what would you learn from that?

​

The Bible teaches us this through Jesus' miracles. He cures leprosy, he lets the blind see again, and the deaf hear again. He did so to those who showed faith in him.

​

Have that much faith in God, that when a hard season approaches, you know you'll make it out stronger.

 

Iron sharpens iron. 

​

If you ask God for something in prayer, Christianity teaches us that it is already done. You may ask for something in prayer, and not receive it for another 2 years, but that is because God knows it will take you 2 years to finally be ready to accept that blessing, and be able to hold onto it.

​

Just because bad things are happening in your life, doesn't mean God has abandoned you. This is what the Devil wants you to think.

​

In the Book of Job, the Devil tells God, that Job, his servant, is only faithful to God because he has everything a man would want in life. The Devil tells God that Job would lose his faith if he lost all of his Worldly possessions, so God allows the Devil to take everything from Job.

​

Job never losses faith, because he knows how God works, and that he is being tested. He doesn't lash out against God and question his religion.

​

After the Devil has taken everything from Job, and he still proves faithful to God, God multiplies everything that Job lost in the process.

​

Let that be a lesson to anyone struggling, that God is always there.

​

He may not act instantly, not because he can't, but because he knows that your situation is moulding you into a new person.

​

If people are mistreating you regularly, defend yourself yes, but pray for them too. 

​

Don't wish bad things against them, as that is prideful. Why are you so high and mighty, that you are able to command someone be struck down. That is the Lord's job, not yours.

​

Avoid these people if they don't stop, but never forget that God is in control of the situation.

​

If you have submitted to Christ, you may be harmed, hurt and suffer, but God stops it before it goes too far. Sometimes he will let you be tormented daily, because he knows it's going to change your character.

​

This is why it is crucial to stay close to God. If you don't, you may lash out against these people, and you will be the one who potentially loses their job, gets put in prison, gains a bad reputation for being violent and emotional. 

​

The harder the battle, the greater the reward. God wants you to fight, so you become stronger, always remember that. He will never let it go too far with you.

​

You are his child, who actively seeks him. You are a massive priority to him.

​

Remember this lesson, and keep God close.
