God Placed You Amidst This Battle Because He Knows You Are Strong Enough To Handle It

"Keep your head up. God gives His hardest battles to His strongest soldiers." Unknown

 Maybe today you are in the middle of a battle. A battle with a friend, family member, or co-worker, a battle with your finances, with your job, with yourself, or anything else that you may be going through in your life today, but whatever it is that you may battling with, I want to encourage you today with the fact that God gave you this battle and has placed you in this situation because He knows that you are strong enough to handle it.
 Now, I know that this is probably the last thing that you are wanting to hear, but see, when God places us in these battles, He only does so knowing that we are strong enough to handle them. He knows that this problem that we are facing is not going to knock us down, but instead, He knows that, after you overcome this battle, after you rise up from it, you are going to be so much better than you were before. You are going to be more equipped for what it is that God has in store for you, you are going to be stronger, and smarter all because of this. But, the problem is that when we are in the midst of the battle, it doesn't seem that way. We don't understand how we are going to be able to stand against this; but my friend, as you are in that battle today, I need you to remember that the only reason God has placed you in this, the only reason that He has brought you here, is because He knew that were strong enough to handle it, and He is just waiting for you to start believing that fact. I don't know if you've ever heard the quote, "God won't give you more than you can handle," but these words are so true! God knows exactly what we are capable of handling, He knows our limits, I mean, He created us to be this way in the first place! So He isn't going to lead us into something that is going to knock us down. He isn't going to place us into a situation of which we can't handle, but He is going to place us in a situation of which we need to be in to get closer to Him. He is going to place us amidst these battles so that He s better able to equip us with what it is that we need to walk into the future that He has in store for us.
 So today, just know that God has placed you amidst this battle because He knows that you are strong enough to handle it, and when it is over, you are going to rise higher and go further than you ever could have before.
