Thought for Today: “God’s Stretch”

God is out to stretch us!

If we want our patience to grow, God will have our patience tested. If we want to grow in leadership, God will put our leadership to the test. And since God wants to grow our love for Him and others, He will put some really unlovable people in our path.

To have our faith stretched means we need to learn in the spiritual how to be flexible and bendable in the hands of God. Or as the saying goes, “Blessed are the flexible for they shall not be broken.

Our lives and faith are won or lost in the stretch, and it’s in the final stretch that our destiny is determined

“Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward (stretching out) to those things which are ahead.” (Philippians 3:13)
