I wrote this while traveling in the morning yesterday, and I even met a minister of God who shared some amazing things with me about when God called him into ministry and the processes God took him through and it kind of related to what I was writing.
Who would ever have thought that the lion and bear that David encountered in the wilderness will play a major role in his victory over Goliath.
When king Saul told David that he cannot fight Goliath, the response of David was, "I killed a lion and bear in the wilderness".
David never knew that a day would come when he would be faced with a giant but God knew and prepared him ahead of time.
The lion and bear that David encountered and killed in the wilderness, was what gave him the courage and faith to confront Goliath.
The natural man would easily have said why would a loving Father allow a teenager like David to encounter a lion and bear all alone in the wilderness?
Except God allows us to go through certain things today, we won't have the courage and faith to confront and conquer whatever is ahead of us.
No one in the army of Israel, not even king Saul had the courage or faith to confront Goliath. The Bible even said when they heard the words of Goliath, they were afraid and ran away.
How come they didn't have the kind of faith and courage that David had?
How come they couldn't confront and conquer Goliath like David did?
I would say it's because they didn't go through what God took David through. "Process".
If you ever wondered why God is allowing you to go through certain things, it's because He wants to use you to do what many will run away from.
What if David had prayed against encountering a lion and a bear? Who knows? Maybe he even prayed against encountering a lion and a bear.
If God were to answer all of our prayers, we won't grow or mature nor would we be prepared or fit to do what God put us on earth for nor be able steward what He commits to our care.
God may show you your 'destination' or 'promise land' but the path to your 'destination' or 'promise land' is secret to Him.
Imagine if God had shown Joseph the path to the fulfillment of his dream.
Oftentimes the things we tend to pray against are processes that are necessary for us to go through if we are to fulfill destiny and be all that God created us to be.
"Faith and courage isn't formed when it's sunny but when it's stormy".
If you ever wondered why God is allowing you to go through certain things today, its because He is building in you the faith and courage to confront and conquer any giant that you will encounter tomorrow.
