Anyone can stay in faith and have a good attitude when everything is going their way. When you’re in peace, you’re showing God that you trust Him.

God says in Psalm 46:10, “Be still, and know that I am God I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth” (NIV). As long as you’re worried and trying to make things happen in your own strength, that will limit what God will do. If you stay at rest, God will go to work. No, take a seat at the table that God has prepared. The key is to not fight with the opposition, to not try to pay people back or prove your point, to not live upset, worried, or frustrated. When you have opposition, when you have trouble, when people come against you, God has a table there.
