Be Strong: How to Take Your First Step Toward Promised Land

Psalm 32:8 says, “I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my eye on you.” God promises enough in this one Scripture for us to be excited to move forward with God! If the journey toward your destiny was going to be easy, you would not need instruction or counsel. However, God promises that He will instruct you, show you the way and counsel you on the pathway to your destiny.

The tests and trials of our lives are what refine and prepare us for where God is taking each of us. If you ever want to accomplish anything great for God, you must learn to keep progressing forward even in the midst of struggle. When critics and difficult circumstances come your way, don’t let them hinder you from moving forward. To progress in life, you must have a strong mindset. Don’t dwell on the negative but meditate on the positive and keep the momentum of your life rolling forward.

We must take a strategic step toward the promises God has given us every single day. Just as Joshua crossed over the Jordan into the promised land, you must move forward into new ground. Be strong and very courageous, God is with you. It is time for you to start making forward progress despite the obstacles that may stand in your way!

I want to challenge you to continually progress even in adversity. When we hold firmly to the promises and Word of God, we will keep advancing even in the midst of struggle. Leave the excuses, complaining and doubt behind and keep going forward with God!
