The Goliath Slayer
“For what great nation is there that has God so close to it as the Lord, our God?” – Deuteronomy 4:7
There was a proverbial sword of Damocles over their heads for the last nine months. Anytime, our employees could lose their jobs because the equipment that we had been renting was being auctioned. Our employees were not young and would have limited job opportunities after this employment. We had led them to pray that the banks approve our huge loan and that the owner decide to award the bid to us as the incumbent operator. But they added something more to their prayers.
They had foregone a summer outing, the budget of which had already been approved at the start of the year. They had offered it as a form of fasting for God to overcome our mammoth obstacle. When the announcement came that there was a failure of bidding and that their employment would not be affected, they decided to spend their “outing” budget to attend a spiritual conference.
At the Kerygma Conference, they met the Giant that faced and overcame their Goliath-like obstacles. The conference reinforced their belief that God is bigger than any problem in their lives.Rolly España (rnespana@nwineskin.com)
REFLECTION:
Do you have insurmountable obstacles in your life? Defer to God and mountains become ant hills.
You are the God of the Impossible and I pray to You in all circumstances of my life.
