RECEIVE My GLORY-STRENGTH. When ongoing problems require you to stick it out over the long haul, beware of responding by grimly gritting your teeth-just passing time in a gloomy frame of mind. This passive, negative attitude is not the way I want you to approach difficulties. I am sovereign over the circumstances of your life, so there are always opportunities to be found in them. Don't be like the man who hid his master's talent in the ground because he was disgruntled with his circumstances. He gave up and took the easy way out, blaming his hard situation rather than making the most of his opportunity. Actually, the more difficult your circumstance, the more you can gain through it. I gladly give you Glory-strength. It is exceedingly potent because the Spirit Himself empowers you— strengthening you in your inner being. Moreover, My limitless Glory-strength enables you to keep on enduring the unendurable. Since this Power is so vast, there is more than enough of it to spill over into Joy! Pt1
