The fight within yourself:
You: “How can I overcome this?”, “How will this work?”, “Maybe this will pass and smooth over soon…but how?”
That strong steady Voice: Nothing and nobody is greater than God!
You: but there seems to be a lot going on. How can this get any better?
Voice: Call on me and I will take this heavy load that you are carrying!
You: oh, why is this happening to me?!
Voice/God: Let go and Trust in me! Don’t forget that it was through my power behind Moses’ staff that parted the Red Sea and led my people out of Pharaoh’s captivity! The power and strength behind David’s stone that conquered the Philistine, Goliath! The same hand that closed the mouth of the lions in the den where Daniel was placed by his wicked adversaries! Haven’t I proved enough of how I’ve taken care of my people?! Don’t you think I would take care of you?! Trust in me and lean not on your own understanding but look to the living Word that I have given you and these things you are experiencing will pass and you shall be an overcomer and a conqueror through me!
Romans 8:31
“What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?”
Romans 8:37
“Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.”
Living in this world we have come upon this wall that blocks us from overcoming the trials that come your way. Though, in this journey that we are in, there is that still strong voice that is there at your side that won’t give up on you. He shakes you, brings you back in focus of what your purpose is, and why you were called to be a Soldier of Christ! God has shown throughout the WHOLE Bible that He has the Power and ability to do ANYTHING and wouldn’t desert His people! So being a child of God, we seek His word and use that as motivation to get through the pitfalls of life and grow closer to Him.
Hebrews 13:5
“Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.”
Proverbs 3:5-6
“Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.”
At times when we face the toughest battles, we find ourselves becoming our biggest enemy by putting ourselves down and watering down the victory that so ever is waiting on the other side of that wall.
Mark 11:23
“For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.”
Jesus tells us that through Him we shall receive peace, because though in life we face pain and grief, He has endured the cross and has overcame the world, and we shall also overcome this wicked world when we place Him in front of us leading the way!
John 16:33
“These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.”
