When we were young children growing up, we had challenges that we had to face. We had obstacles that we had to get over such as being bullied. It was hard getting up every day knowing that there was someone who was going to treat us badly for no apparent reason. We didn't understand why they were the way they were, but we managed to overcome it. Life is hard on every side, but we learn to get over it. How do we overcome things that we do not understand? How do we process those things that happen all at once without anything to warn us? The answer is this, we give it to God and let Him handle it. We do not go through things alone. We may feel like we are alone, but we are never left alone to face things we do not understand. We learn that we have to trust in God and have faith that He will help us overcome whatever it is we are going through.
We all have mountains to get over at some point in our lives, but while we are trying to get over that mountain we are growing in the process. We are learning that we cannot do anything on our own. We are learning that we have to rely on God to help us overcome that mountain we are facing that's in front of us. We are as helpless as newborn babies. Why is it hard for us to realize that God is our Father who loves us very much and will do everything in His power to protect us from the things that may harm us? We need to realize that overcoming uncertain circumstances takes time. It is hard when you do not know why something is happening in your life. When storms come, we are frightened because we do not know how bad the storm is going to be until we see the trees swaying, and seeing the rain falling hard, and hear the thunder rolling, and the lightning flashing. We become afraid when we hear sirens blaring, or when we see red and blue lights flashing behind us. Those are all things that we can overcome.
Just remember that life is full of obstacles that we will eventually encounter, but we will make it through those obstacles if we do not give up. We are overcomers.
