Daily Bible Verse: Acts 26:16
‘Rise and stand on your feet; for I have appeared to you for this purpose…’
If you are facing impossible circumstances and you have run out of solutions, what can you do?
Exodus 14:13 Moses told the people, “Don’t be afraid. Just stand still and watch the LORD rescue you today. The Egyptians you see today will never be seen again.
1. DON’T BE AFRAID.
Again, and again, in the Bible we are advised to not be afraid. You see Moses told the people to not be afraid. The Lord wants to tell you the same thing today: ‘Don’t be afraid!’
Matthew 28:20 ‘And be sure of this: I am with you always!’
2. STAND FIRM.
If you are facing impossible obstacles, then its time to stand firm in our faith and confidence in the Lord. Do the possible and leave the impossible to God.
3. WATCH AND PRAY.
Be alert! Do not become complacent, anxious, or discouraged, be on the lookout for a breakthrough.
4. LET THE LORD FIGHT FOR YOU.
Do not try and do everything in your own strength. There are some things that only He can do.
5. DO WHAT HE TELLS YOU TO DO.
Exodus 15:25 ‘…the LORD showed him a piece of wood. He threw it into the water, and the water became fit to drink.’
Obey what the Lord tells you to do. It may be as simple as making a phone call He prompts you to make, or submitting your CV just one more time…
6. HE WILL BRING YOU TO A GOOD PLACE.
Exodus 15:27 ‘Then they came to Elim, where there were twelve springs and seventy palm trees, and they camped there near the water.’
In the end He brought them through all the challenges and troubles, and they end up at a place with 12 springs. Just one spring may have been enough, but there were 12. He did not just provide one with perhaps one extra one as a backup… Now He provides them with 12. In addition there were 70 Palm trees. Not just one, or just a few, but seventy. It a picture of provision and plenty. Let us pass the tests and trust the Lord to do the impossible things and bring us to a place of provision and protection. Years ago, we used to sing a song entitled ‘HE GIVETH MORE GRACE’. Here are the words:
‘When we have exhausted our store of endurance
When our strength has failed ere the day is half done
When we reach the end of our hoarded resources
Our Father's full giving is only begun!’
No matter how difficult or hopeless things may look, remember, that His giving is only just beginning, and He can do impossible things. Take heart and trust Him to do just that.
Ephesians 3:20 ‘Now all glory to God, who is able, through His mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think.’
