In the Beginning
Genesis 1:1 teaches us this, "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth"
Everything that you have been through thus far has been to prepare you for what God has created you to do. In the beginnning of every opportunity there is always a season of learning. Some of us don't want to endure this process because it can be the most challenging and humbling however, it is necessary for you to be perfected in Christ.
Being perfected in Christ should always be the aim of every season. No matter the amount or type of storms, we were created to endure them all. Your victory was established in the beginning when God was creating the heavens and the earth. Just think about it, if you read a little further in Genesis 1, it says that day by day God made something new and He called it good once He was finished. This is the same with you.
God created man on the 6th day and He called me and you GOOD. Therefore, let this be an encouragement to you that in the beginning of everything that you may face, God has already blessed you with the victory and called it good! Finish strong my friend!
