Sometimes to reach your destiny, you have to go backward so God can take you further forward. God doesn’t always do things in a straight line, in ways that make sense. There will be closed doors, disappointments, people who walk away, things you didn’t see coming. In these times that don’t make sense—you came down with an illness, you lost your main contract, the friend betrayed you—you have to remind yourself that God is still in control. Don’t panic; God knows how to take what was meant for harm and turn it to your advantage. He may not deliver you from it, but He will prosper you in it.
