The people-challenges we face are not about the people we face. They represent an opportunity to draw near to God and be a part of His plan for a greater purpose.   

Ephesians 6:10-12 reminds us of this, “Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly  places. “   

People-challenges —when handled appropriately— are like two sides of the same coin. One side is designed to strengthen the individual. The other side is designed to change the opposition.  

Stand in God's strength and walk by God's power. 

When we stand in God’s strength amazing things happen. When we walk in God's power miracles are bound to unfold. 

Don’t look at their faces. Stand in God's strength.  Walk in God’s power. Experience miracles.
