When we embark on God’s plan for our lives, it will not be plain sailing. There will be challenges, sometimes great challenges. But the Lord sees and knows ahead of time. If we keep quitting and always take the easy path, we will never arrive at the blessed hope the Lord has destined for us.

God puts our children into schools to develop them, the school that suits them best. Therefore, we are to lay hold of the opportunity presented and persevere.

The Heavenly Father’s unfailing love and great grace are always sufficient to help us overcome these challenges and fulfil our destinies, turning blessed hope into reality.

What were the four things David did to overcome his greatest challenge? What did Abraham do when God told him to do the unthinkable? How was Paul encouraged when he was in despair? What did Jesus do when the Jews wanted to kill Him?

Did they overcome their challenges and fulfil their destinies in the end?
