I love that idea! The very obstacles and hindrances that keep you up at night and fill you with fear become the very materials God uses to pave the road to victory and overcoming. Those very things that once meant defeat are those which God works together for good into your testimony.

The key is faith. As I always say, it’s not big faith in God but faith in a big God. It can be as small as a mustard seed that almost disappears in your hand but it’s enough. After all, what counts isn’t the amount of your faith but the object of your faith.

I trust in a God who walks on water. I also have placed my past, present, and future in nail-scarred hands. Those reminders from various places keep my hope alive these days. God keeps sending me little reminders that He’s still working in me and for me.
