FACING OBSTACLES, CHALLENGES AND SETBACKS

Video Teaching

Below is a zoom video teaching I did last May at the Phoenix Rescue Mission, titled, How to Overcome Obstacles, Challenges and Setbacks

Everyone in life faces obstacles, challenges and setbacks. It is a part of life. These come in all sizes and shapes. And just because a person is not homeless or living in the street, doesn’t mean they are not going through some very difficult situations. Many times when we face various challenges, we realize we do not have enough to get through it, whether it’s finances or resources, health, or other difficulties. In other words, the challenges we face seem just too big for us – we do not have enough.

As we read the Bible, many times we see people who had the same dilemma we have; they did not have “enough.” And then we see God providing solutions, time and time again. Why are there so many records in the Bible that show God can and will supply? Why are they in there? They are there to encourage us! They are there to remind us that with God’s help, the odds don’t matter, and, it doesn’t matter if we don’t have enough. No matter how little you have, with God, it is enough,

God can make a way where there is no way! This very practical teaching will show you how you can overcome obstacles, challenges and setbacks in your life!

(Note: There is a link below the video song I played before the teaching – YouTube does not allow me to have them part of the video. The song I played before the teaching was, Voice of Truth, by Casting Crowns.)

It’s So Easy

Have you ever started something new with lots of enthusiasm and excitement?  But what about after the initial excitement begins to wear off?

In this short video (3:33 ), a little history lesson of persistence, and some encouragement to pray and not faint.

Enjoy the video!

I’m Happy!

I started my day “happy” this morning; did you?

Some people wake up and are not very happy to face the new day.  For them, each day is another struggle.  All their problems from yesterday are still there.  And, most of the time they have nothing to look forward to.

But I rolled out of bed “happy” this morning.  Why?  Because I have no problems, no challenges and no opportunities; my life is perfect and everything always goes according to plan!

I Am Being Facetious

Everyone has challenges; it’s part of life; we don’t live in a perfect world, at least not yet.  But I am happy first of all to be alive!  Life is a gift, a precious gift.  There are no guarantees.  I have been given another day to live.

I am also happy because I am expecting and anticipating a great day today.  Why not?  I am looking for and expecting His blessings throughout the day.  I am looking for and expecting open doors to help someone else too!

And Here’s The Best Part!

I am happy because I know that our God is a God of solutions.  He is an ever present help in time of need.  He is the One Who said to cast all our cares on Him!  He wants to help us.  Knowing that, I am not only happy, but I am really full of joy, having confidence in a loving God Who promised He would never leave or forsake.

Life was meant to be lived to the fullest!  Yes, there will set backs and obstacles at times, but no matter what happens, nothing is too big for our God, and His promises are still true!

Choose to have a great day!
