Everyone faces big obstacles or problems at some point in their life. There is no escaping it. And you can not expect God to just prevent you from going through tough times, because He won’t. But the problem is not to face tough times, the problem is to allow yourself to fear them and not react to them.
God is a God of reaction, not a God of action alone. If you are weak in the face of your problems, then how can God “react” by saving you?
But maybe you say, “I don’t want to be weak, what must I do to become strong”? It starts with a decision inside of you and how you see your problems.
For example, in the Bible we see the story of Joshua and Caleb. Ten other men were with them when they went to see the Promised Land. But all the other ten men ONLY saw obstacles (giants). How can God bless someone that sees the problem as bigger them Him? Impossible!
Look at what Caleb said:
“Only do not rebel against the Lord, nor fear the people of the land, for they are our bread” Numbers 14:9
Caleb did not see the size of the problems. He was living in faith, he saw the enemies (though they were giants) as bread in his hands. You see my friend, it’s all about how you see things, and how you react. Stop being weak in the face of your problems and stand up and sacrifice and fight for what you want.
Very soon, your problems and enemies will crumble like bread all around you.
May the God of the Bible Bless you
