Some people are easily intimidated. Even when they know they are doing what is right, they let themselves be bullied into backing down. The enemy does not want us to succeed. Satan does not want us to prosper. There are times in all of our lives when we look around and decide that we need to make a change for the better. It may be that you are looking at some aspect of your life and choosing to be different. It could be your health, your weight, a bad habit or your relationship with your spouse. No matter what area you choose to focus on - to work to improve, you can guarantee one thing: you will meet with resistance.
Nehemiah 6:9 They were just trying to intimidate us, imagining that they could discourage us and stop the work. So I continued the work with even greater determination.
God never promised that we would have it easy - a fact that we know well. To achieve a goal, especially one that we value highly, we must be willing to meet opposition head on. We must be willing to persevere in the face of resistance. We must look at the obstacles and setbacks as simply part of the course.
James1:2-4 Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance. And let endurance have its perfect result, so that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.
In the end, it is always worth it. Never give up!
blessings on your day
