There are a lot of challenges each new day for each one of us. There are challenges that are so intense for us to deal with. The challenges look hopeless. Others will tell you God will not deliver you. Even yourself is losing heart. As for believers, we have prayed and there is no answer. But God says whatever that you ask from me, i will answer. So now how to handle ur life and challenges?
Let's now look at David in Psalm 3. He was fleeing from his son Absalom. Foes has rise against him.Many says that God will not deliver him. This is exactly how we go through everyday. But David is a man who pursues God wholeheartedly when he says in Psalm 139:17 How precious are your thoughts, o God? David did not complained becos he knows God heart, he know that God will deliver him. Look at Psalm 3:3 David says to God" You are a shield around me and you bestow glory on him and lift his head." Verse 4 he continues To the lord i cry out, and he answers me from his holy hill."
Pursue the heart of God. When you know God heart well, even when challenges come, u will be like David. You wlll be as bold as the lion when these challenges come. Look at David. He was not fearful despite of the situation. Why? Because he knows God is his shield and he knows how God raise him up among many and made him king of Israel. He knows that God will not abandoned him.
Peace is on you. David continues in verse 5 I lie down and sleep;I wake again, because the lord sustains me. God gave him strength to rise up against his foes. Verse 8 From the lord comes deliverance. His enemies stumble and fall. They all fell against him.
Brother and sister, these are the few things to know when challenges come.Firstly, you need to know that God is for us. Secondly, look at him as a loving heavenly father. Thirdly, you need know that God desires for you. His desires for you and I is good. God wants us well. Lastly, you have to God withheld things because he wants to train and build up your character. For instance, money. If u ask God to give you money, yes he will but God is giving you part by part. God will slowly give you so that you will not be blinded by money and fall.
