Unleashing God’s Strength in Your Life
Focus on God’s Magnitude, Not Your Giants
When faced with seemingly insurmountable challenges, it’s easy to lose sight of God’s power and promise. Our focus can quickly shift from the limitless possibilities with God to the daunting obstacles ahead. However, God wants us to be confident in His strength, knowing that through Him, all things are possible.
The Israelites’ Giant Dilemma
The story of the Israelites approaching the Promised Land serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of focus. When Moses sent scouts to assess the situation, ten of them returned with reports that highlighted the giants in the land, instilling fear and doubt in the hearts of the Israelites. But two scouts, including Caleb, remained steadfast in their faith, focusing on God’s promise to hand over the land to His people. Caleb boldly declared, “We should go up and take possession of the land, for we can certainly do it” (Numbers 13:30 NIV).
Giants in Your Life
Today, you may be facing your own giants – obstacles that seem too big to overcome. Perhaps you’re struggling with time and energy, finances and resources, fear and faithlessness. But God wants you to know that He is pouring His strength into you, empowering you to defeat these giants and take possession of an abundant life.
Confidence in God’s Strength
By recognizing God’s hand at work in your life, sweeping away the personal giants that stand in your way, you’ll become increasingly confident in His ability to strengthen you. As Philippians 4:13 reminds us, “I can do all things through him who strengthens me.” So, what are you thinking? Are you focused on the magnitude of God, or the magnitude of your challenges?
