Here we are at the end of another year. Most people want to move up to the next level. If we are going to get the next level we have to learn, grow, and move forward. We have to be honest and admit where our life is in this moment.

Nothing will destroy you the way discouragement will. Discouragement will keep you from achieving the life God has intended for you. Are we going to be Christians who give up or get up?

In II Corinthians 4 we see although we may be facing difficulties we have the everlasting hope that is Jesus Christ. When we know who we are in Christ, we can move forward in our lives. We need to recognize the problem but then put our focus on the solution.

No one can choose the hand they are dealt. At some point in our lives we will face situations that are out of our control. No matter where we may start, that doesn't mean we can't rise above our adversity.

Ernest Jennings shares how we can overcome our difficult situation through the word of God. We see time and time again that men and women of God rising above their current circumstances to thrive.

Every one of us have a choice that will end up determining what we accomplish. We need to be solution driven Christians, as we live our lives.

We can do all things through Christ who gives us strength. God has given each of us talent and potential; let us develop and utilize it to their fullest.

Do you ever feel depressed, discouraged, emotionally drained? This is the season of Thanksgiving. What if we let gratitude and thankfulness guide us in our lives. By one choice we could revolutionize our lives. Living a life of Thanksgiving is about shifting our perspective.

In Jonah we see Jonah come to the realization that he was living ungrateful towards God's mercy. When he finally faced adversity, he understood that God is where he was. Through God's mercy, he can still use us. Because of that we live in thankfulness.

We all are in need of companionship. If we are to live healthy lives we need to avoid loneliness and isolation. When we give our heart and attention to our friends, we live well in community.

In John 15 we see Jesus come together with his close friends. Where he instructs them to love and care for one another. So many times we can get caught up in our own lives that we neglect the wonderful people in our life. We can't become too busy ourselves that we ignore God's blessing.

Many times in our life, we feel surrounded by our troubles. Surrounded to such a degree where we feel like all the pressure is on us. Every one of us needs to evaluate what we are putting our focus on. Are we focused on our difficulties or are we focused on God's ability to deliver us from it.

We see this demonstrated perfectly in II King 6. When Israel and Elisha faced difficulties that were far greater than them, they relied on God to give them the power. Although we may be weak, God's strength is enough for us!

How many times do we feel that our circumstances allow for little to no hope? Where we are truly tested to stand firm in our faith. We need to live our lives, that no matter what we're facing we have faith in God.

In the Book of Daniel we see a group of believers who are living in a culture that goes against their faith. During this period they were tested and refused to bow to the idol of Babylon. God can deliver us from the fire but sometimes our hope is tested through the fire.

We are all building our lives around something. Some us are building ourselves up with hopeless and negativity. Our life is only as strong, as what we are building on.
