OVERCOMING DIFFICULTIES BY THE WORD
2 Samuel 22:30-31, “For by You (O LORD), I can run against a troop; by my God I can leap over a wall. As for God, His way is perfect; the word of the LORD is proven; He is a shield to all who trust in Him.”
Challenges are real in the race of life. God never promised us a life without difficulties or troubles, but He gave us the precious gift of His word to guarantee that in the face of the challenges, we would emerge as victors. Our anchor Scriptures makes such a strong statement, “The word of the Lord is proven.” This means that the word of the Lord is sure to work in all conditions and under all circumstance. When you face difficulties (and you sure will), the only guarantee for success is the word of the Lord in your spirit!
The word gives us assurance in the midst of the darkness that there is still hope and a bright future. No matter how difficult the challenge is, if you have gotten hold of God’s word, then you must never let it go. Hold on to it, it is for your security and safety! 2 Peter 1:19 says, “And so we have the prophetic word confirmed, which you do well to heed as light that shines in a dark place until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts.” O how beautiful! Looking at this Scripture again makes me realize what the Holy Ghost is saying. When we hold unto God’s word, it is our assurance that we would outlast the night season of our life and be ushered into the joys of the morning!
Dear friend, you may be going through a very difficult time in your life. Don’t give up, hold unto God’s word, hold God’s precious word so tight until the day of your life dawns, stay in faith and you will come out victorious!
FURTHER STUDY: Revelation 3:8, “I know thy works: behold I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and has kept My word, and has not denied My name.”
CONFESSION: I BOLDLY CONFESS, GOD’S WORD IS STRONGER THAN MY DIFFICULTIES. MY STRENGTH MAY BE LITTLE BUT I HOLD UNTO THE WORD, NEW DOORS ARE OPENING FOR ME.
ACTION POINT: Even in the midst of the storm, keep reading your Bible.
