Facing Obstacles With Courage, Patience And Faith
One thing everyone standing for marriage restoration knows ALL about is obstacles that appear impossible to overcome, but we know NOTHING is too difficult or too hard for God as we see in the following verses:
Jeremiah 32:27
“I am the LORD, the God of all mankind. Is anything too hard for me?
Jeremiah 32:17
“Ah, Sovereign LORD, you have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and outstretched arm. Nothing is too hard for you.
Genesis 18
13 Then the LORD said to Abraham, “Why did Sarah laugh and say, ‘Will I really have a child, now that I am old?’
14 Is anything too hard for the LORD ? I will return to you at the appointed time next year and Sarah will have a son.”
Deuteronomy 1:17
Do not show partiality in judging; hear both small and great alike. Do not be afraid of any man, for judgment belongs to God. Bring me any case too hard for you, and I will hear it.
Proverbs 21:30
There is no wisdom, no insight, no plan that can succeed against the LORD.
It’s up to us whether or not we will let the obstacles standing in the way of our marriage restoration deter us or if we will take God at His word and make them opportunities to glorify Him! What an awesome example we see of how that works when the Lord rewarded Joshua’s obedience and brought down the walls of Jericho, andJoshua 1:1-9 tells us EXACTLY how we can experience that same kind of victory in our own lives!
So, when the devil tries to convince you that you can’t do this anymore, be encouraged and remember that NO problem is more than you can endure in the strength of the Lord. And don’t forget the awesome promise in Isaiah 64:4, which says Since ancient times no one has heard, no ear has perceived, no eye has seen any God besides you, who acts on behalf of those who wait for him.
Charles Stanley delivered an AWESOME message this morning about facing and dealing with obstacles, and even though he wasn’t talking about standing for marriage restoration specifically, he certainly could have been! It’s another message no one standing for the restoration of their marriage should miss, so please take the time to watch Facing Difficulties.
