Well, I have to say that today was one of those days. I took one of my cars to be repaired and ended up having to major engine work done. It will be days before we can use the car again. So I thought at least I have another car to depend on. Yea, well I took that car to get the oil changed and they told be that this car is due to have some major work to be done in the near future. I also have a very important trip to make. So, what do I do? I start thinking about... is this God trying to tell me something or the enemy knocking me down. I have to be honest...I am starting to wonder. I know that God loves me but I know that "stuff" happens and I feel the fire and smoke of defeat brushing against my face. I lose my strength and feel like I want to run away.
Do you think that David in the Bible wanted to run when he heard the roar of the lion?
1 Samuel 17: 34 But David said to Saul, "Your servant has been keeping his father's sheep. When a lion or a bear came and carried off a sheep from the flock, 35 I went after it, struck it and rescued the sheep from its mouth. When it turned on me, I seized it by its hair, struck it and killed it. 36 Your servant has killed both the lion and the bear; this uncircumcised Philistine will be like one of them, because he has defied the armies of the living God. 37 The LORD who delivered me from the paw of the lion and the paw of the bear will deliver me from the hand of this Philistine."
Saul said to David, "Go, and the LORD be with you."
I think that he may have wanted to run away but he wanted to save his sheep more. I need to do the same. I need to want to see God's power more than I want to give in to my fears or worry. God is great and I don't want to make him look small to a world who needs to see God for who he is.
In need....
