Some of the most frustrating challenges Christians face include contesting the reality of our view with the reverence of our vision. Saul and the Israelites went through it when it seemed as though Goliath the Philistine was too terrifying to defeat [1 Samuel 17]. Caleb’s counterparts went through it when it seemed the people in the land were too mighty to possess [Numbers 13:26-33]. Even today, there are situations that we encounter that seem insurmountable, but the God of all things good has the final say. And as history proves, He specializes in making something out of nothing (check out the dry bones story [Ezekiel 37:1-14]). So the next time your life presents you lemons, take a moment to breathe, then recall the promises, provision and preeminence of God and watch Him turn those lemons into something as amazing and unexpected as apple cider! Then praise Him for his favor, and feast on His faithfulness.
