Are you one of those that seem like you are facing the same problem over and over and over, that no matter what you do, the problem or issue is still there? The reason for this is that we are trying to solve it on our own. We go to self help books for answers, or we watch the morning talk shows for answers, or we even hope our friends will say the magic words that will solve our problems. We need to first understand that the battle (which is our problem or issue) really isn't ours, it is Gods. In order to allow God to do what He does best is to do what He told the Israelites. He told them and He is telling us today to not fear the problem, stand firm and let God work! That means when we face an issue or problem, we are to look to Him, we don't try to solve it on our own, we don't run away from it, and we let Him do His job. "But Kent, what if I am still afraid?" Then stand your ground afraid and watch God! Whenever I face a problem, I say to myself, "Kent, don't be afraid, this battle is not yours but Gods, so I am going to let God defeat this problem and if I am to do anything, He will tell me what to do, but for now I am going to let Him do His job." It isn't always the easiest thing to simply sit on the sidelines and watch God work, but the alternative is if we try to solve it ourselves, we get in the way and it never gets solved. By standing your ground and letting God fight the battle, you will be able to face even bigger problems with greater peace and stability.
Take Away: When facing a problem, stop fearing it, stand your ground, and watch God move!
