Your perspective about your life is key to overcoming obstacles. If you will keep a heavenly perspective instead of an earthly one, when troubles come your way, you will breeze through those difficulties.
No, obstacles are not fun.
No, you would rather not deal with them, but God uses them for your good. Obstacles are keys to the development of your character, that Christ needs you to have for the purpose for which He created you.
It produces maturity, perseverance, and patience.
So, what is a heavenly perspective?
It’s knowing that it is God’s obligation to get you to where He needs you to be.
If He can create the entire Universe, He will get you to your intended destination.
God's promises stand forever and they do not expire. Whatever He has promised you, you will receive in His timing.
Keep in mind, that His timing includes your spiritual development. You can’t sit on the couch watching TV or scrolling through social media and expect to get up a stronger Christian. You must set aside time with the Lord every day to pray, read your bible, and read Christian books that will help you grow stronger. You may sometimes need to call a fast to set yourself aside for preparation.
The point is, you have to be intentional.
Downtime should always be prep time for a Christian. It prepares you for what is next so you will be ready at a moment's notice. He has much in store for you but you must show yourself approved by doing those things mentioned above. The best is yet to come, so be ready for it!
2 Corinthians 4:7-9, 17-18
