In the olden days, much older than you or I, In fact I’m writing about Moses in the Old Testament. When Moses had led the children of Israel forty years in the wilderness they finally came close to where they should enter the promised land. Ten spies were chosen by Moses to go in and see who was there and what was grown there. Eight of the men came back scared to death.’ “The people over there are like giants” they said. “We can’t go over there!”

They were so very close to receiving the desires of their hearts, but they were so intimidated by the obstacles they wanted to give up. I don’t know what they intended to do, but they were not willing to go into the promised land.

Caleb and Joshua, were the two other spies who entered the promised land brought back grapes that were larger than melons and said, “This place is beautiful!” They knew that God would go with them. No obstacle could stop them as long as God is at their side.

Think about it. God hasn’t changed. No obstacle is too big for you when God is with you and if it is in His will. Obstacles tell us how much faith we have. If we have faith God promises in His Holy Word, He will go with us and He will help us if we ask Him believing that He will do whatever we ask in His will. too many of us don’t believe He will heal us, give us what we need or any other obstacles in our path,

 

There is a trust that knows. You won’t worry about things that happened in the past or will happen in the future. That doesn’t mean nothing will happen to you These things happen to everyone. You know deep in your heart that God is in charge, not only in your life , but in all things around you.

Do you have that kind of trust? Well, I know that when you sit down on a chair, you do trust that the chair is strong enough to hold you. You do have trust. All you have to do is trust in God. After all, He made everything you see around you, He will take care of you! But He expects you to believe in Him and his son, Jesus. They love you deeply.

Thomas Manton put it this way: “If a man would lead a happy life, let him seek a sure object for his trust, and he shall be safe.”

Nothing in this world is certain, but if you trust in God you will never be disappointed. When something happens, like a fire in your home, a sickness in your family, You lost your job or you simply are upset over something, God will see you through. Every obstacle is an opportunity for God to show you that he is there.

I have lost two husbands and two little children and many other things that God has taken me through. Yes, I was sad but when I looked back I knew God had been with me all the time and He showed me that I could go on in life, He would be with me always.
