Message
Most times we allow our problems to look bigger than our faith. We are so overwhelmed by the sudden challenges they pose that we resort to despondency and despair. At that moment we forget that there is God who is bigger than all our problems. That was exactly the initial attitude of David and his valiant men who came from a fighting expedition only to find that a group of Amalekites had invaded their camp, burned their properties and kidnapped their wives and children.
But thank God David resorted to God to find the way forward. God gave him the go-ahead and recovered all that was lost. What challenges are you facing presently? It could be bereavement, failure in exams, lack of funds to pay school fees, and so that is posing a challenge to you at the moment. Never mind, turn to the Lord in prayer and have faith in His unchanging promises. Ask Him for direction, and consult your church leaders where necessary for guidance. God will surely bring you out as He did for Daniel, David and many others.
