On the way to your ‘there place’ of promised inheritance, very often you can remain stuck in the ‘messy middle’ a very long time, trying to get a handle on overwhelming circumstances. The length of stay in this uncomfortable and painful state, to a great extent, depends upon the willingness to obey God; choose to do whatever it takes for moving forward into a new place. Trials and tests help to reveal the glory of Christ in your life.
It is critical however to press through storms, sickness, pain, struggle, tight or narrow places in order to reach the other side.
So that no mortal man should [have pretense for glorying and] boast in the presence of God.
So then, as it is written, let him who boasts and proudly rejoices and glories, boast and proudly rejoice and glory in the Lord.
(1 Cor. 1:29, 31)
