Ladies, before we are ever able to flow and move gracefully within the context of our purpose, we have to go through a period of conditioning and preparation. Sometimes, we cry out to God because we feel like we’re stuck at ground level in some areas of life. We want to soar. In our minds, we’re ready to jump. But to hold certain positions and do them well, advance strength training is critical and the kind of discipline and power we need is developed off the spotlight, on the backside of the desert, in the valley, through the wilderness, in the storm, in the dark. So Ladies, we may feel like we are already ready to move onto the next phase. But if God still has us on the ground stretching us, that means he has to work on us some more. But let us not worry, let us not get discouraged, because when He’s finished refining us, we will be ready to take that leap. After this time of testing and refinement, we will be strong enough, bold enough, wise enough, courageous enough, experienced enough and mature enough to thrive. So don’t think our destiny has been canceled because we are still being stretched. We must be able to handle being stretched at ground level, before we can move up to a higher level. Where we may be uncomfortable, but if we can stand to be stretched, we can stand to be blessed. Despite how hard it is, let us hang in there. This is not the end. God will bring us out and remember.... The discomfort of venturing beyond the borders of our comfort zone, positions us for greater things. Suffering precedes reigning. Trials come before triumphs. Though the stretch doesn’t feel goodto us, it is good for us. We remain flexible, open and moldable in the hands of God, the Potter, He will mold us into something more wonderful than we ever imagined. He’ll also take us higher than we thought we would ever go. Heavenly Father, we don’t understand everything we are going through. The route we are taking us often feels long and difficult. But yet, we trust You. As we go through this season of testing and stretching, We know we will come out of it stronger, better and more equipped to lay hold of our destiny. Please give us strength to hold on. In Jesus Mighty Name, Amen.
