Apostle Grace Lubega
2 Corinthians 12:10 (KJV); Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ’s sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.
In life, what you may consider ‘lows’ are depths in the mind of God.
Lows are negative situations that Paul names as infirmities, reproaches, necessities, persecutions, and distresses.
Depths are the dimensions in God that define our heights, in the sense that a building’s height is determined by the depth of its foundation.
You may face circumstances that place you at the bottom of a very deep abyss, emotionally, financially or socially.
To many, it may appear as a ‘low’ but to God, it is a depth required to build a stronger foundation for your upcoming success.
When the apostle Paul understood this, he revealed to us that what appeared like weakness was actually strength and boldly said when I am weak, then I am strong.
Similarly, what may appear as failure could be a springboard to catapult you to success; what may seem like regression is God stretching you on his bow of greatness so He can launch you further into destiny.
By this wisdom, I urge you to change your attitude towards any negative situation you may be facing and see it for what it is. God is digging you deeper, so He can take you higher.
Hallelujah!

GOLDEN NUGGET: Change your attitude towards any negative situation you may be facing and see it for what it is. What may appear as failure could be a springboard to catapult you to success; what may seem like regression is God stretching you on his bow of greatness so He can launch you further into destiny.
PRAYER: Loving Father, I thank You for this truth. I choose to look at life and circumstances through this lens. I am not a failure and I will never victimise myself. Every crisis I face is an opportunity to be moulded in the patterns of greatness, in Jesus’ name, Amen.
