Everything that brings you to genuine humility, everything that brings you down from your self-importance, everything that strips you of self-sufficiency, everything that discomforts your kingdom compliancy, everything that brings you from your strident walk to your knees, every crisis that turns your eyes toward Jesus, every problem that makes you look to the Lord, all these things are for you a blessing.

“Is there yet any seed left in the barn? Until now, the vine and the fig tree, the pomegranate and the olive tree have not borne fruit. “‘From this day on I will bless you.'” Haggai 2:19 (NIV)
