If we stare at our fears too long,it will overtake us.The best bet is to keep our eyes on the prize,not the pain.In the Bible,Paul shows us how they were pressed and oppressed in every way.He could see no way out but never gave up.Though they were persecuted they were never left alone or deserted by our God.Glance at your problems but stare at Jesus.We cannot deny the existence of problems,we cannot ignore them,but we should not permit them to rule us.Any problem we have is subject to change.All things are possible with God!
When David came against the giant Goliath,he did not stand for hours looking at the giant wondering how to win the battle.The Bible says that he ran quickly to the battle line,all the time talking about the greatness of God and declaring his victory ahead of time.David did not run away from his giant;he courageously ran toward him.That courage made him the King of Israel.
We are all called to run a race and we should run it to win.Winning requires preparation,training,sacrifice and a willing to press past our opposition.It often requires falling many times and continuing to get up over and over again.
Winners don't always take first place,but they must finish what they start.Finishing our task gives us confidence.Our trust in us grows more and that is important.If we walk confidently with assurance and our head held high,then we can strive to keep our conscience clear of offense toward God and man.God did not give us a spirit of fear,but of power,love,and a sound mind.(2Timothy 1:7).
