Dealing with life’s challenges 6

“Thy servant slew both the lion and the bear: and this uncircumcised Philistine shall be as one of them, seeing he hath defied the armies of the living God.” 1 Samuel 17:36

Life challenges make you stronger if you overcome. Life challenges make you grow in strength and experience. Life challenges give you an opportunity to help others if you overcome.

Our text this morning was David’s response to Saul when he told David that he cannot go and fight Goliath because he was a youth and Goliath was an experienced fighter. David told Saul, he had killed a Lion before so also a bear and that Goliath should be the next.  It is great to note that Saul did not doubt David ‘s ability to kill Goliath the moment he heard the history of his victory. If you run from the Lion and the bear you cannot qualify to handle the Goliath. Also, if you run today from the Lion and the bear, you are still coming back to face them tomorrow. The class you don’t pass, you repeat. That is why you must not run when life’s challenges come knocking on your door. You must just confront it and get through it with the help of God and those God has sent to help you. The point is that we become wiser and stronger through the challenges we go through in life.

I see your present challenge becoming history in Jesus name.

Prayer for today: Oh God, give me testimonies concerning my present challenges in Jesus name.
