You have an enemy. Did you know that? His name is Satan, the accuser. His main target is your mind, because the mind is the control center for your life. So, he wants to keep your mind cluttered, filled with doubts. What if it doesn’t work out? What if my health doesn’t improve? What if I don’t get that contract? As long as our mind is cluttered, it keeps us focused on our problems instead of our God.
Well, maybe you and I could learn a thing of two from a man named Hezekiah …
The Bible tells us a time when the king of Assyria invaded the land with a huge army – the largest army in the entire world. He marched from city to city, breaking through their walls and capturing their people.
Next in line was the city of Jerusalem, and word quickly spread through the city. The people were afraid and filled with panic, thinking, What are we going to do? They’re so much bigger than us.
King Hezekiah gathered the people in the city square and said, “Don’t be afraid of this mighty army. For there is a power far greater on our side. The enemy may have an army, but they are just men. We have the Lord our God to fight our battle for us.”
King Hezekiah gathered the people in the city square and said, “Don’t be afraid of this mighty army. For there is a power far greater on our side. The enemy may have an army, but they are just men. We have the Lord our God to fight our battle for us.”
The same is true for you. When you are facing a big enemy, you have to remind yourself that our God is bigger – bigger than any person, bigger than any problem, bigger than any cancer, bigger than any addiction, bigger than any financial problem, bigger than anything life might throw at you in the future.
The way to stay in peace is: Don’t talk about how big your enemy is, talk about how big your God is. He flung stars into space, He spoke worlds into existence, He parted the Red Sea, and raised the dead!
I don’t care what your problem is – your God is bigger than your problem!
