"Thy servant slew both the lion and the bear: and this uncircumcised Philistine shall be as one of them, seeing he hath defied the armies of the living God. David said moreover, The Lord that delivered me out of the paw of the lion, and out of the paw of the bear, he will deliver me out of the hand of this Philistine. And Saul said unto David, Go, and the Lord be with thee." -I Samuel 17:36-37 KJV
Never run from an opportunity to see the Hand of God. David could have run from the lion and the bear; but if he did, he would have missed an opportunity to see God’s hand of protection. Many times, when we encounter obstacles and challenges, we want to run from it, or we don’t want to deal with it at all. When we run from challenges, we miss out on seeing God come through for us. The more we see God come through, the easier it should be to handle the next test or trial. The trying of our faith is to ‘make us perfect and entire wanting nothing’. It is to make us stronger and our trust in God deeper. When the devil attacks, don’t run from the challenge, run to the answer. God is always our answer. He is a very present help in the time of trouble.
