Obstacles to Opportunities

"My grace is all you need." By His grace, He has already equipped us. What a powerful thing that is sometimes so hard to believe. I believe in my mind but my heart doubts when times are tough. I think, I will believe when I see it because there is no way, God! Help me with my unbelief, God!

As we mature in our Christian journey, we begin to understand that we are equipped to handle whatever life throws our way. The Bible gives us wisdom on how to handle these things. Hebrews 11: 1, "Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see." But we are human and it is so hard whenever life throws hard things! I am sure Joshua's army didn't see a victory coming their way. There was a great wall protecting Jericho and God had issued strange instructions to march around it. The Lord had promised the Israelites the land, and Joshua believed Him and wasn't fazed by what seemed unconquerable. He chose to acknowledge God’s power.


It’s tempting to have unbelief when obstacles are in the way but just like He did with Joshua, God goes before us and is preparing the way. No matter how He chooses to handle our issue, His way is always the best for us! These obstacles bring us opportunities to grow in our faith and love for Jesus! Thank You, God, for the obstacles that are really opportunities!
