Think of this; every obstacle introduces a people to themselves.
How we respond to those obstacles is the most important thing.
The greatest example of the right response
to an obstacle in the bible is the giant Goliath,
who confronted and intimidated the armies of Israel,
including the brothers of a young shepherd named David.
David’s brothers chose not to do anything about
the obstacles before them, but David did.
What was the difference? It is in the way each viewed the problem.
The brothers looked at the obstacle
and figured it was too big to hit, but David looked at the
obstacle and figured it was too big to miss.
The way you look at any obstacle in your
life makes all the difference. Let each new obstacle
force you to go to the next level in God.
No obstacle will ever leave you the way it found you.
You will be better, or you will be worse.
Keep in mind this important fact about obstacles.
Every obstacle has a limited life span.
We worried about things last year that we can’t even remember today.
Don’t believe the lies that things will not change.
Obstacles subdue mediocre people,
but great leaders learn to rise above them.
You and I need to be like the great man who,
when asked what helped him overcome the obstacles of life, responded “the other obstacle”. We should be like a kite that rises against the wind.
Every problem has a soft spot; there is an answer.
Many people think most of their obstacles are money related,
but the correct perspective is to know that a problem that can be solved with a check book is not really an obstacle, its an expense.
Someone said that obstacles are what we see when
we take our eyes off the goal. Keep your eyes on the
goal and remember that you are not alone in the struggle.
In times of adversity, you don’t have an obstacle, you have a CHOICE.
In the midst of unbelievable circumstances, Believe.
God has a promotion for you.
Take your challenges and hardships
as the bridge to your promotion.
