Resistance Is Sometimes the Beginningof Lift Pressure can sharpen judgment, strengthen character, and create momentum when you respond with clarity and purpose. Difficult seasons can become turning points when resistance is met with judgment, patience, and purposeful action. When the Wind Turns Against You Difficulty can feel like a warning, even when it is preparing you for progress. There are moments when effort seems to produce the opposite of progress.
