Happy New Week everyone,
Life is full of challenges here and there, and to stand strong is only by the grace of GOD. From one health challenge to financial challenge to the challenges you face at work to the challenges of raising your children, ensuring they are brought up in the Way they should go, and many more. It is then that someone comes to you while facing these challenges, telling you to put your trust in GOD. This would sound so 
annoying that you could chase the person out because at the moment, many do not really go to GOD when they face these challenges, especially when they're hit so hard. They worry a lot, look up to heaven and with a deep sigh say, “Oh GOD, help me”, and then continue to find out ways they would sort these problems out by themselves. Another contradiction is that they commit their problems to GOD and after that go back to their worries by searching for help everywhere as though they never committed their worries to the LORD. The reason why all these keep happening is that we don’t know how big GOD is when compared to these things that we call problems. These problems are nothing to GOD, but we haven’t properly come to that understanding yet, if we truly have, then we would only look up to HIM and no one else, with full confidence and assurance that the problem is gone because you handed it over to HIM. But do you really know GOD?

A popular story in the Bible in Numbers 13 where GOD told Moses to send men to spy out the land of Canaan. There were twelve who went, and ten came back with logically understandable [negative] reasons why they couldn’t go up against the inhabitants of the land, while just two came back with good report saying in Numbers 14:7-8 which says, “The land we passed through to spy out is an exceedingly good land. 8 If the LORD delights in us, then He will bring us into this land and give it to us, ‘a land which flows with milk and honey.’” Then they said something very important in verse nine, “Only do not rebel against the LORD, nor fear the people of the land, for they are our bread; their protection has departed from them, and the LORD is with us. Do not fear them.”
Joshua and Caleb who were the two who came back with good report had their confidence not in human logic, but on the LORD, they knew who GOD is, which is very important. Only when you know a person, would you know how much confidence to put in him, but you cannot know GOD and put little confidence in HIM, it is not possible, even though things may appear tough as it was for the spies, but because those who knew their GOD understood their challenges was a piece of cake to GOD.
Jeremiah 32:27 says, “Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh. Is anything too hard for Me?” there is nothing that is too hard for to GOD, but it is until you know who GOD is that you can have this confidence in HIM to handle all your challenges. Daniel 11:32b says, “…but the people who know their God shall be strong, and carry out great exploits.”
You cannot see the miraculous in your life if you don’t have confidence in GOD. He is your Father and HE is always ready to listen to you and HE always has the answer to every problem or challenge, even to what we may consider irrelevant. Know GOD today, know HIM more and more, you can study the Bible, which is the word of GOD to know HIM more, and with the Holy Spirit to interpret or make it clear, this helps to open up who GOD is and you would see your life get transformed as your challenges are tackled.
May the LORD bless you and keep you, make His face shine upon you. May the LORD be gracious to you and lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace. AMEN.
Why not accept Jesus today if you haven’t. Pray out loud, “Jesus, I confess that You are my Lord and Saviour. I believe in my heart that God raised You from the dead. By faith in Your Word, I receive salvation now. Thank You for saving me!” Congratulations, you’re born again, you are now brand new!
