The Secret Of Problem Conversion

Wednesday, December 31, 1969

Do you have problems? Maybe you've told the Lord, "I didn't ask for this! I don't need it. I don't want to always be dealing with problems." But think about it. How do you move ahead or go higher in the Lord? How did you do it in school? In order to advance to the next level, you had to pass tests. The tests had problems for you to solve. Imagine if you had a test in school and asked the teacher to take away the problems. Without the problem, there's no victory and no advancing. So don't curse them, or complain to God about your problems. Realize if you have problems, then you've got a test; you've got a choice. If you've got a choice that means there's a solution; a right answer. And if you choose the right answer, you'll deal with it rightly, pass the test, and move forward. So stop running from your problems. Instead of dreading them, see them as opportunities to advance. Face your problem head-on, choose rightly, and you'll pass the test. Then you'll advance and receive the blessing. Embrace your problem - for victory!
