There will always be giants to fight, trials and difficult times that come our way but we must always remember that
no matter how big the giants are, or how threatening the trials and problems seem, that God is bigger than ALL the
problems we face.
In the midst of the problems you face remember that God is bigger.
There is NO problem that you are facing right now that is bigger than God.
And it’s especially important where you are focused. Make sure that you are not focused on the problem alone.
Focus on the Lord in the midst of what you are going through.
The enemy wants you to focus on the problems, and the giants that are in your way so much that they seem bigger and
stronger than God. That’s what happened to Israel when they faced Goliath.
Goliath stood and shouted a taunt across to the Israelites. “Why are you all coming out to fight?” he called. “I am the Philistine champion, but you are only the servants of Saul. Choose one man to come down here and fight me! If he kills me, then we will be your slaves. But if I kill him, you will be our slaves! I defy the armies of Israel today! Send me a man who will fight me!” When Saul and the Israelites heard this, they were terrified and deeply shaken.
1 Samuel 17:8-11 NLT
And this happened for 40 days and nights. (1 Samuel 17:16)
They were so focused on the GIANT problem in front of them that they forgot that God was bigger and much stronger than Goliath. But that was not the case with David. He knew God was bigger than Goliath. He was confident that God would destroy Goliath. (1 Samuel 17:34-37)
Friends, I want to encourage you to look to God in the midst of the difficult things you are going through today.
He is bigger than EVERY problem you will ever face.
No matter what you are going through call on Him.
You don’t need to go at it alone. You are not alone in the fire.
God is with you and He will deliver you!
“The Lord is my rock, my fortress, and my savior; my God is my rock, in whom I find protection. He is my shield, the power that saves me, and my place of safety.”
What are you waiting for? How long have you been waiting?
Waiting is not an easy thing to do. It actual is a big step of faith because you are giving up your control so God can be in control.
I love how Psalm 27:14 describes waiting on God,
“Wait patiently for the Lord.
Be brave and courageous.
Yes, wait patiently for the Lord.”
Words like, be brave, be strong and courageous are used. That should give you an idea of how hard it is to wait.
But I want to encourage you to keep on waiting. No matter how long you have been waiting, no matter the obstacles, the closed doors and unanswered prayers you have faced, keep waiting on the Lord. Don’t throw in the towel. Keep standing in faith that God will come to your rescue.
He will come through for you.
He will answer your prayers.
He will breakthrough on your behalf.
I would like to share a scripture that encouraged me this week
“I waited and waited and waited some more, patiently, knowing God would come through for me.
Then, at last, he bent down and listened to my cry. He stooped down to lift me out of danger from the desolate pit I was in,
out of the muddy mess I had fallen into. Now he’s lifted me up into a firm, secure place and steadied me
while I walk along his ascending path.”
Psalm 40:1, 2 TPT
Wait a bit longer friend.
God will come to your rescue. the word says, “AT LAST, he bent down and listened to my cry.” (emphasis mine)
It may seem like nothing is happening right now but things will change. He knows exactly where you are.
Don’t give up. God is good and He is faithful. He will not abandon you.
He knows you are waiting on Him so He will not waste your wait.
As you wait on Him be confident and assured that He has got you. Stand strong in faith as you wait on Him.
If you don’t know, I unveiled my book cover of my latest book this week.
It is almost finished so in the meantime
I created a free version (teaser) of my upcoming book. If you would like to get a copy of it please click here to get it.
And after you read it I would really love to hear your thoughts on it.
I have some exciting news. I am about to release my second book and I wanted to share the title with you.
The book is titled, DELAYED BUT NOT FORGOTTEN
It’s been years in the making literally. God has been teaching me a lot about waiting on Him for everything and to be honest it has been intense. Waiting is not easy at all. There has been pain, disappointment, heartache, confusion along the way but God has been so patient with me. He has lovingly guided me and continues to because my journey of learning to wait is far from over. There is so much more to learn.
In the book I talk about my journey of waiting and the lessons God has been teaching me. So I am so excited to share my journey with you. The book is in its final stages of completion so expect it very soon.
But in the meantime I have created a free version (teaser) as you wait.
What are you waiting for? How long have you been waiting?
Always remember that God never makes you wait out of spite.
He makes you wait because He loves you.
God bless you friends.
