Obstacles

Consider it pure joy, my brothers, when you encounter trials of many kinds, …

And we know that God works all things together for the good of those who love Him, who are called according to His purpose.

Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me. …

Now I urge you, brothers, to watch out for those who create divisions and obstacles that are contrary to the teaching you have learned. Turn away from them.

Not only that, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; …

And it will be said, “Build it up, build it up, prepare the way, take every obstacle out of the way of My people.”

“Because you have so little faith,” He answered. “For truly I tell you, if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.”

The LORD will fight for you; you need only to be still.”

I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength.

Therefore let us stop judging one another. Instead, make up your mind not to put any stumbling block or obstacle in your brother’s way.
