Isaiah 25:1
LORD, you are my God;
I will exalt you and praise your name,
for in perfect faithfulness
you have done wonderful things,
things planned long ago.
Do you want to know a secret to moving forward when you are afraid? Look back! No, I don’t literally mean look behind you, but if you are in a haunted house or some scary movie, that is always a good choice. No, I remember all times in the past that God got you through.
Think of all those moments in your life you stood in this place. Yes, you may be facing a new enemy or circumstance, but the feelings are not really new. You have felt the overwhelming, fear-filled, overly anxious, feelings before. They wore a different mask but look closely and you can see right through it. Now, remember your prayers and pleas you set out before God. Most important remember the release you felt as He got you through it. It may have not been a path you would have chosen but you took it and now you are on the other side looking at a new adventure.
Yes, I did use the word adventure. You see a circumstance has been placed in your path. The Goliath in front of you is nearing, but like David, you look down and see your stones. God has already helped you defeat lions and bears. Now it is time to throw these stones again. Go ahead take aim. God will give you the victory again!
Lord, I thank YOU and praise You for all the adventures you got me through in the past. Today, I am facing a new one and I know you will get me through again. ~amen
