Maybe today, you're standing in the middle of a fiery furnace of affliction—health failing, emotions flailing, finances faltering, relationships fraying, beneath a darkened sky that seems to be falling. Remember this: the Lord is with you in the discomfort, working for your good!

Nobody craves the furnace of public trials, the humiliation that trouble and tragedy can bring. Yet, in that very furnace, in the midst of the fire, God is at work. He is refining you, polishing you, preparing you to shine with a brilliance that reflects His glory. Your struggle is because you’re chosen!

Have you ever felt stuck between a rock and a hard place in your life and didn’t know what to do? In these moments, Christ the Rock of our salvation is there in the midst of it all. If you are going through personal challenges, through this message, the Lord is confirming His presence and promises.

Stuck in a hard space? God is sending you this message today to remind you that this fiery trial will not consume you, it will conform you into the image of Christ, refine you, and position you to bring God even greater glory. Something good is coming out of this.

You may be going through now, but God will restore you back to a place of wholeness, equilibrium, prosperity, and joy. Though the journey is not easy and you may be feeling low, uncertain, and confused about this unfamiliar place of struggle, there is better on the other side of this! Be encouraged.

We may get knocked down from time to time. C'est la vie. That’s life. But what we won’t do is stay down! We will rise again. And not only that, but we will also come back stronger, better, more blessed and favored than before. If you’re going through some troubles now, trouble don’t last always!

God is sending you some encouragement today in the storm. He is saying, nothing and nobody will harm you. You have no reason to fear. God has given you power over the enemy. Power over the storm. Power over whatever comes against you. Be encouraged!

You are a threat to the kingdom of darkness but an asset to the Kingdom of God which is why Satan comes at you so hard. But know that in all these things, you are more than a conqueror through Christ, and no weapon formed against you will be able to prosper. Be encouraged!

If you’re going through something tough right now, hear the voice of the Lord speaking. He wants you to rejoice and know that He is smoothing out the rough places in your life, revealing His glory, making all things new, and causing you to hit your stride.
