Facing the Giant
Everyone has their own giants to face. Sometimes, it's so overwhelming that you are not sure whether you carry on. You doubt about yourself. You doubt about God too. "Where are You, God?" " Why does this thing happen to me?"
Sometimes, the breakthrough is just few steps away. But we just can't see it. How many extra miles do we need to go further? Not sure.
Recently been feeling down and overwhelming with things. Anger, frustration, doubt and discouragement. You name it. I walked into a Salvation bookshop one day, and there, a sermon was broadcasted in the shop, just-in time for me to catch the sentence, "Our job is to trust God. That is. Nothing else. The rest is his job." How true and applicable it was to my situation. I had tried all means, and nothing can be done. I was angry and discouraged, and was thinking alternative ways to resolve the thing. But all in vain. And I have to agree that our job is to trust God. Nothing else. Not even myself.
The Lord says fear not for He is with me. Greater that He is in me than that he is in the world. If you have watched the movie, "Facing the Giant", you will know that perseverance and focus will lead to breakthrough. The focus is on God. "If we win, we praise God. If we loose, we praise God too."
Tough, but it is possible. What's your Giant? Lay it before Him. Trust Him too.
