God cares about the details of your life
‘The very hairs of your head are all numbered.’ Luke 12:7 NKJV If you want to know how incomprehensively big God is, read this: ‘Indeed My hand has laid the foundation of the earth, and My right hand has stretched out the heavens; when I call to them, they stand together.’ (Isaiah 48:13 NKJV)...
Believe God, in spite of the odds
‘Our sufficiency is from God.’ 2 Corinthians 3:5 NKJV Gideon’s army of 32,000 men is enormously outnumbered by the Midianites when God tells him, ‘You have too many men.’ He instructs Gideon to release anyone who is afraid, and Gideon loses two-thirds of his army. Now he has only 10,000. Again,...

Don’t give up!
‘To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven.’ Ecclesiastes 3:1 NKJV
Solomon says there is: ‘A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck what is planted; a time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; a time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; a time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; a time to gain, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to throw away; a time to tear, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak; a time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.’ (Ecclesiastes 3:2–8 NKJV)
That’s a total of 28 different ‘times’. But notice what Solomon does not give us—a time to give up! As long as you stay on the battlefield, God can turn your situation around and give you victory. If you’re worried today about your marriage, your children, your health, your finances, your job, and your future, here is a promise you can stand on: ‘“No weapon formed against you shall prosper, and every tongue which rises against You in judgment You shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is from Me,” says the Lord.’ (Isaiah 54:17 NKJV) God didn’t say that the weapon wouldn’t be formed against you, but He said it wouldn’t prosper. So don’t give up!
