Living in this world as a Christian means that there will be struggles. My Bishop, Robert Anderson would say, “Being a Christian is not the absence of problems, but instead the overcoming of them.” The reality is being broken brings you closer to getting wholly healed and being poor instills a drive in you to go after wealth. As ‘Crowned Kingdom Citizens,’ we must always remember there is a blessing in the struggle. I’m remembering times in college where I only had $40 and sometimes less to get through the week, but thank God that I did because some of the greatest meals came from having to get crafty and use what I already had or the little I could get.
Crown Life Co. is not just a brand to us. It’s a promise from God that He will make every crooked path straight (Luke 3:5). It’s a reminder that He is close to the broken-hearted (Psalm 34:18). It’s a sign that breaking generational curses is possible (Numbers 24:8). It’s a sign of a better lifestyle (Psalm 91:16). It’s a legacy that says I’ll use the canned goods God has given me to get to the full course meal He promised life would be.
Today, know that God is not a man that he should lie. When He said “For this, we know that ALL things work together for the good of those who love the Lord and are called according to His purpose,” HE MEANT ALL THINGS (Romans 8:28).
Your struggle makes you wiser and qualifies YOU to give an answer to the problem(s) that you face. You just have to believe. No matter where you are or what you’re doing today, choose to believe.
Confession: God I believe that even through my struggles you are teaching me great wisdom and calling me to live a better life. Amen.
