If you didn&#8217;t see it coming, you would stumble. If you saw it coming and \u00a0were prepared, you would stand firm where you were, feet planted.<\/p>\n<p>God tells us that we <em><strong>will<\/strong><\/em> have trouble and hardships and chaos in our lives. And He has given us a way to prepare ourselves&#8212;<em><strong><span style=\"color: #800080;\">His Word<\/span><\/strong><\/em>. \u00a0The Bible gives us direction and guidance in every situation. \u00a0We can read how David lived and defeated a giant with a stone and slingshot. \u00a0We can see how Jonah ran from God and yet God sought him and went to all the trouble to have him swallowed by a fish. \u00a0He really needed Jonah to spread the Good News to a specific city. \u00a0And then there&#8217;s Gideon who doubted that he could do anything, even with God proving over and over to him that he was really equipped to defeat his enemies. \u00a0And the list goes on and on&#8230;. \u00a0Each one of these men went on to do great things. Because they didn&#8217;t let it defeat them.<\/p>\n<p>The chaos going on in your life is also creating something beautiful and heavenly. \u00a0God wastes nothing&#8230;no hardship, no affliction. He makes something good out of the hard things that we just knew would be the end of us. \u00a0It is time for healing, dear friend. \u00a0And the only way that can happen is to totally surrender to Him and His will for you&#8230;whatever that may be.
