Life happens to us all, and at some point in time we all experience a little displeasure now and then. It doesn't matter how long we've been a Christian, how much we do right, or how much we love the Lord. 1 Peter 4:12 says, "Do not be amazed and bewildered at the fiery ordeal which is taking place to test your quality as though something (unusual and alien) were befalling you (Amplified Bible Version)." Just because we are Christians does not mean we should be exempt from trials. Remember, the One we follow has scars, and if we are gonna be his Disciples, we are gonna end up with scars too! Just know that living an abundant and prosperous life is a choice we make regardless of the trials we must endure. Even though we cannot control what God chooses to test us, we can control how we react. How we react to trials greatly affects our prosperity. For example, if you get all bent out of shape over something that tests your patience, you will lose your peace. Losing yourpeace then, results in losing your prosperity. Think about it,if you don't have any peace, you don't have much! Tests, trials, and undesirable circumstances are all part of life. But, they are also temporary! Therefore, we should not allow them to continue in our lives... Particularly, as a child of God. John 10:10 tells us that Jesus died that we may have life, and have life more abundantly. Trials and tests are only meant for a season, or for a short amount of time to make us better than what we were before. If you're like me you see many people who let their problems continue to run their lives. They live from paycheck to paycheck with bills that don't get paid by their due dates. They may have a car in need of certain repairs or maintenance, but the zero in their savings account prevents them from getting the things done that they need. They may have problems in relationships, and they may even have health issues. Prosperity feels so far away for these people... But they love the Lord! Why then, do they continue to struggle? I believe it's a combination of things, but I want to emphasize only one important point for now: The devil wants us to settle for the crumbs that fall from the table! As born-again children of the Most High God, we are adopted into His family and become joint-heirs with Christ... What is His, is ours (Rom 8:17, Gal 3:29)! Our attitude should be, "I am a child of the King, I deserve the best, and I decide right now to commit myself to a better quality life." Insist that you will not live like a dog settling for the crumbs that fall from the Master's table. Pull up your chair, take your rightful place, and feast with the King! After all, you are a child of the Most High God, set apart and made holy by the blood of the Lamb, and "greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world" (1 John 4:4)! No longer accept what the enemy wants for you! Jesus said in Luke 10:19, "You have been given power and authority over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means harm you!"
