Hello dear brothers, life on earth is often made up of many challenges, projects to accomplish, goals to achieve, etc. And it is true that we often go through galley moments or frankly we wonder how we are going to get out of it. There are times when it seems that the world is falling on our heads and that the difficulties get worse day by day.
I know a friend who told me that he believed well in God, but at one point in his life he had so many difficulties and said to himself: Well, I think this time, First I will put aside the affairs of God, it is time to fight To solve these problems, then I will return to you Lord, when I have solved them.
Unfortunately, sometimes we also share many of us, who, in the slightest difficulty, panic, tremble, etc. The worries in our lives often resemble the goliaths that stand before us and we feel helpless in the face of their adversities and tenacity.
Let's reflect:
Moses also had to face a challenge: to free the people of Israel from the Egyptians, but in the face of the powerful Egyptian army, could it make a difference? How could I convince the Israelites that it came from God? How was he going to remove the Egyptian sword from God's chosen people? However, God used it from what he already had at hand: a stick. It is thanks to this stick that he could do so many wonders and miracles in Egypt.
What is that you have in your hand? –The Lord asked. "A cane," Moses replied. (EXODUS 4: 2)
According to Moses' challenge, we must understand that we are very rich as Christians very often, but we say that we are poor. We are powerful, but we proclaim our weaknesses in the face of difficulties. The Bible says in Philippians 4:13: "I can do anything thanks to the one who strengthens me." In Christ we are more than conquerors. God has already won victories in our lives, but in the slightest worry we weaken even more. We do it, because we don't believe that God can go through small things to bless us.
Because the difficulty is great, we also imagine solutions that "humanly" should be comparable to the dead end before which we find ourselves.
Before the challenge you have to face, you meditate on this word that God gives you: "Go with the strength you have" (Judges 6:14).
