Keep honoring God, being your best, and God will cause the people you need to be for you. He’ll take care of your critics. Just like He closed the mouths of hungry lions, God will close the mouths of those trying to discredit you. That’s not your battle. That battle is the Lord’s.

Shake off the bitterness. Shake off the offense. You have a destiny to fulfill. We need the best version of you. Not the bitter you, the discouraged you, the half-hearted you, the limited you. Where is the strong, vibrant, talented, beautiful, passionate you that God created? The you that shines. The you that blesses others.

His purpose is at work. You may not understand it right now, but you can trust that God knows what He’s doing. You will see, what you thought was a setback, was really setting you up for greater things. Don’t fight everything you don’t like. Live at rest knowing that God’s purpose will prevail.

God parts Red Seas. He’ll slay your giants. He’ll call you out of the shepherds’ fields and anoint you when you’re overlooked. He’ll close the mouths of hungry lions. He opens prison doors in the midnight hour. If Lazarus were here, he would tell you, “Even when you’re in a tomb, wrapped in grave clothes, He’ll call you back to life to finish your assignment.”
