Problems have a way of paralyzing a person. Especially when there seems to be no clear solution. In many cases, the problem seems so great and strong that an individual can think that there is no use even trying to fight it. And that’s when you get stuck. 

For example, if you go to a very experienced doctor and he tells you that you have a terminal illness and that there is no cure… Chances are a person will believe it and start preparing themselves for death. Another example is when an unexpected accident happens and the person had no insurance but had to have a surgery. When the bill comes to hundreds of thousands, many times you think, “there is no use even trying to pay this off, I might as well file for bankruptcy”. 

I could go on for days, speaking about examples of situations that make a person freeze and feel defeated. But when the children of Israel were facing the Red Sea, with no way around it or through it, God told them to go forward. And we all know that He opened the sea and they passed through on dry land.

When God is for you, there is no obstacle too great to overcome. As it is written, 

What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? Romans 8:31

This is what you have to remember, when you are facing a great crisis. If God is for you, then who or what can stop you? Nothing and no one! Go forward in your faith and take your challenges to the altar, and from the altar you will receive great results. 

May the God of the Bible bless you
