The Bible declares in 2 Corinthians 2:11 “so that Satan will not outsmart us. For we are familiar with his evil schemes.”
In observing your situation, it is always important to remind yourself that God is greater than your situation. Satan’s strategy is to make your problem bigger than God – what a lie.
Faith in God is having the kind of trust and confidence that you understand that there is no other help, than God. Your only hope is in God. Never position yourself against your problem. Position God next to it. God is always bigger than any problem you may have.
Psalm 71:5” For you, O Lord, are my hope, my trust, O Lord, from my youth.”
Psalm 146:5 “Blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob, whose hope is in the Lord his God”
Hebrews 11:1 (NIV) “Faith is being sure of what we hope for, and certain of what we do not see.”
Faith causes you to know in your heart that God is greater than your problem. Hope is a condition for faith. Hope is “an expectation of good”. It doesn’t matter what you see, God is greater than your problem.
Hebrews 11:6 says, “But without faith it is impossible to please God, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.”
“There is never a moment when God is not in control. Relax! He’s got you covered.” ― Mandy Hale,
It may be hard surrendering everything to Him, but we should do it for when God is with you, nothing can stand against you. Always keep your faith in Him, He is there to guide you forward in your journey.
Today, make sure that you feed your faith and starve your doubts.
