THE SECRET OF DISMANTLING OBSTACLES

SCRIPTURE: Tremble, O earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob. – Psalm 114:7
 
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Where the Presence of God is found, obstacles have no future.
 
On our journey of life, obstacles, hindrances or limitations abound. You might be surprised why this is so. 
 
The experience of the children of Israel on their way to the Promised Land portrays this. They were confronted with many obstacles like the Red sea, the River Jordan, the wall of Jericho, the Anakims who were the giants in the land, etc. (Joshua 11:24).  
 
Suffice it then to say that there is no Promised Land without giants. If God has ever given you a promise, there are giants to confront and contend with. But what matters is not the presence of the giants but the victory we will have at the end. 
 
What then is the secret of handling obstacles on our journey of life? 
 
We confront obstacles with the Presence of God.
 
From Psalms 114:1-8, we see that the Presence of God is an Obstacle-dissolver. Where the Presence of God is found, Obstacles have no future. 
 
Beloved, whatever you do to increase the Presence of God in your life is not a waste because the Presence of God is a weapon for the dismantling of obstacles. 
 
Remember this: Where the Presence of God is found, obstacles have no future.
 
ASSIGNMENT(S):
1. Engage in spiritual exercises that will increase the Presence of God in your life.
2. Deviate from practices that will take God’s presence away from you.
 
PRAYER: O LORD, dissolve every obstacle in my life. Help me LORD to attract Your Presence in Jesus’ Name.
