Have you ever been put in front of a situation that seemed impossible? You have no idea how it is going to work out for your good? That failure is the only solution because there is no logical way out?
Yeah, we’ve all felt like that. We have all been in dark places where we have no clue how to get out. It feels like you are carrying too great of weight to even take the next step. If we only rely on our own selves, there is no solution. We can’t do it on our own.
When Israel was faced with a giant threatening to take down the entire army, they were too scared to do anything, not knowing how it was going to work out. Then David walked in. The army only thought of what they could do. But David knew what God could do.
““Don’t worry about this Philistine,” David told Saul. “I’ll go fight him!” “Don’t be ridiculous!” Saul replied. “There’s no way you can fight this Philistine and possibly win! You’re only a boy, and he’s been a man of war since his youth.” But David persisted. “I have been taking care of my father’s sheep and goats,” he said. “When a lion or a bear comes to steal a lamb from the flock, I go after it with a club and rescue the lamb from its mouth. If the animal turns on me, I catch it by the jaw and club it to death. I have done this to both lions and bears, and I’ll do it to this pagan Philistine, too, for he has defied the armies of the living God! The LORD who rescued me from the claws of the lion and the bear will rescue me from this Philistine!” Saul finally consented. “All right, go ahead,” he said. “And may the LORD be with you!””
1 Samuel 17:32-37 NLT
When we face things with God, all things are possible. We have to trust Him and know that He has it all worked out. What seems impossible to overcome will be so simple to take care of if we do it God’s way and not our own.
David stepped up and did it God’s way. The giant fell only after a few stones were slung. This was the moment that he took the step in faith that set the promise of God in place so that one day he would be the king God called him to be. It wasn’t just about the anointing, but David’s belief in His God’s ability.
I encourage you, dear reader, that it isn’t over even if it seems like it is. No matter the situation, no matter if someone hurt you, if you sinned, if you are isolated, if your entire life has crumbled – trust God. His Son didn’t die on the Cross for you to waste away in failure.
Trust His way, trust that with Him all things are possible and will work out for your good! His promises will come to pass. Hold onto HIM!!! Don’t let go, no matter what. Sometimes God wants to see if we will take that step of faith.
Be blessed, dear reader. It isn’t over until God declares it is.
Boldly Radiant
