Crush Your Challenges

UV 3704/10000 Crush Your Challenges FOR I THE LORD your God keep hold of your right hand; ( I am the Lord), who says to you, “DO not fear, I will help you.” Isaiah 41 v 13 Every believer is like Cyrus, the great. The Lord has called us to accomplish His will. He promises to uphold or support us, strengthen us in the areas of our weaknesses. He promises to hold our right hand with His right hand. It is actually difficult to hold a person’s right hand with one’s right hand and advance forward. But the right hand here symbolizes that the justice, power, victory and salvation of God will prevail in our lives. For He is the Lord God, the Great I Am. All those who oppose us will be scattered. All those who quarrel with us will be dispersed and disappear from our sight. Those who war with us will be as nothing. It is repeated for emphasis, “As nothing at all.” Today, the bigger pandemic is the pandemic of fear. Millions are caught in the throes of fear and panic. Those who are battle scarred will not be scared. The scars of battle are meant to train us us not to be scared of threats or throats that utter them. We are also not scared as we are assured that the Sacred One is with us. He rides with us into the thick of battle. In fact, He says that the battle belongs to Him. We only need to take a stand and watch. Even the current Covid 19 pandemic is a kind of warfare. It is meant to expose those who are fearful. We should take all precautions but state in our hearts that Covid is a coward and put it to flight. The Lord promises to help us whatever be our situation. The Holy Spirit is called the Helper. We should constantly seek His counsel, comfort and help. We may be weak and soft and vulnerable as a worm but the Word will strengthen us to be like a powerful threshing machine that can thresh the mountains or greatest challenges of life we confront on a daily basis. We can crush our challenges and turn it into chaff. The testimony of how we overcame these challenges is the grain, the fruit of our lives. We will like harvesters winnow the ‘mountains and hills’ ( big problems and smaller ones, big foes and small ones) and sift them so that the high wind of “Kairos” (God controlled and surrendered) time and change will scatter these as if they are mere dust and chaff.
