He said, “Listen, King Jehoshaphat! Listen, all you people of Judah and Jerusalem! This is what the LORD says: Do not be afraid! Don’t be discouraged by this mighty army, for the battle is not yours, but God’s. 2 Chronicles 20:15, NLT
Have you ever felt that you faced a challenge in your walk with Christ that dwarfed you and so intimidated you that you felt frozen in place?
Sometimes God calls us to accept challenges that stagger our imagination—climb that thousand-foot rock wall, move that mountain, overcome that resistance to faith, walk on water! Nevertheless, through Christ’s power and in God’s time all these things have been done by other believers.
However, when God calls us to do something, He does not need our abilities. He only needs our willingness and perseverance through faith in Him. He will take care of the rest.
What giant are you facing today? What vast crevice or sea do you need to pass over to reach God’s destination for you? Is He calling you to do something that intimidates you? If so, I want to encourage you to just do it and remember that He will take care of the rest!
Dearest Lord Jesus, we are grateful that You are walking with us today and helping us overcome. Dear Lord, we believe. Please help our unbelief. Thank You. Amen.
