But the Lord was with me. He gave me power to preach the Good News so all the people who do not know God might hear. I was taken from the mouth of the lion.
- 2 Timothy 4:17 (NLV)
Every day we face challenges, decisions that we have to make.
Some are simple like what shirt to wear; others are more complicated like making a decision that will affect the rest of your life.
Granted, the shirt we wear to the office may not feel like a choice that is overwhelming, but other choices are.
God does not leave us alone when we face overwhelming odds.
Paul wrote to Timothy that he felt abandoned by others, but he knew he was not separated from God.
God had a purpose for Paul that was yet to be fulfilled, and as a result of his faith, Paul was able to stand strong even in the midst of incredible danger.
Whoa . . .
God has a purpose for ME, and for YOU.
Our lions are more metaphorical now, but they are still our lions.
We need to harness the confidence that Paul had, the knowledge that God will give you strength, for He has a destiny for you to fulfill.
