Judges 7:7 The LORD told
Gideon, “With these three hundred men I will rescue you and give you victory
over the Midianites. Send all the others
home.”
Sometimes we face situations in life that really throw us for a
loop. We find ourselves in over our
heads. Sometimes we are responsible for
the messes we get into and sometimes they are just there through no fault of
our own. When we come up against those
times of life we often wonder what in the world we are to do. We see the size of the task and that is all
that we can see.
The Lord is not concerned by the size of the problem before
us. He is not concerned with the
impossibility of the task. He is not
bothered by the things that often bother us.
There is nothing that is beyond God’s ability to handle. The only thing that limits God’s ability is
us. When we are overwhelmed or
overpowered by life, we have no one to blame but ourselves. The Lord helps those who let Him help them.
We have two choices to make and which one we make will determine
how we will live. We can try to handle
things ourselves and hope for the best, or we can let the Lord handle things
for us and know that the outcome is the best.
When we handle things ourselves we will usually make a bigger mess of
things. If we happen to successfully
overcome our difficulties, it will usually be with great suffering. When we let the Lord handle things He takes
the burden off of our shoulders and shows us a better way to handle things.
When we deal with life resting in the Lord, life becomes far less
complicated and intimidating. In Christ,
all things are possible when we trust in Him.
The Lord gives us all the resources we need to live on the victory side
of things. There is no defeatism in
those who simply live in a trusting relationship with Him.
