There are many obstacles in a person's life, and they may find the paths to success quite difficult to obtain. It really doesn't matter of the station in life, ethnicity, nationality, education or financial status of the individual. Surviving and thriving can appear to be polar opposites, when it comes down to winning or just attempting to win. I know the objective is to overcome adversities and have a tremendous testimony to share, but often times during the journey we can become lost because of the seemingly unending pressure. Financial, Family, Health and Job issues, just to name a few can become so insurmountable that trying to stay above water and weather the difficulties we all face, are trying.

Yet in all of these things there is a voice deep within that's telling us that there's hope at the end of this dark tunnel. Sometimes that voice resonates through a sermon, a song. and encouraging word or a scripture that you were led to read. The truth about it all, is that God remains supreme and knows the way and manner of life that you lead and yes, the trying moments that you may encounter. His strength is made perfect in your weakness, and you will come through your peril as pure gold that have been tried and tested in the fire. Trials are not for your demise but to increase your faith by enduring hardness as a good servant that wants to build strong faith muscles, while knowing that the Master sees your infirmities.

The secret to overcoming, is not to give up in the face of the tribulation that you may feel overwhelmed with, but to see the Grace of God working on your behalf for your victory. Stay focused and steadfast to the promise and expect more power to come for your eventual praise report. Remember He Reigns!!!!
