1 Samuel 17:33 NIV “Saul replied, “You are not able to go out against this Philistine and fight him; you are only a young man, and he has been a warrior from his youth.””
Is there an obstacle in your life that is holding you down? Is there something that is completely crippling your ability to function?
There will be many times in your life that you will be told you cannot do something. In many instances man will disqualify you because of your age, level of intelligence, strength, etc.
In life, someone will surely yell you that you cannot do something because they weren’t able to do that same thing. Sometimes they will discourage you because you have an opportunity that they do not have. The joy, however, is in this, that God does not look at what man focuses on. Because God sees beyond what we ever can, He is able to move us in the direction we ought be moved. He has given you the power and the means to do anything no matter what the world says.
He is your strength and your shield. There is absolutely nothing you cannot do through Him. You can face whatever life has placed before you because God Himself has equipped and qualified you to overcome any and everything, but it is only through Him that you can prevail. You are able to go out and face the world, do not allow anyone despise your youth, your strength or your ability. Go and face the world but only do so with God in your corner, do not go without the Lord.
