…but you shall remember well what the LORD your God did to Pharaoh and to all Egypt.
Deuteronomy 7:18 (NKJV)
How often do you feel like giving up? What would God have us do when we are undergoing such moments? We find the answer in God’s message to His people before they entered the Promised Land.
When Desperation Sets In
The Lord says, “If you should say in your heart, ‘These nations are greater than I; how can I dispossess them?’— You shall not be afraid of them, but you shall remember well what the LORD your God did to Pharaoh and to all Egypt.” (Deuteronomy 7:17-18).
God expects the Israelites to face formidable challenges, but He has a solution: “Remember what I did for you in the past. I am the same God who destroyed Pharaoh and brought you out of slavery. What I did in the past, I will do today, if you trust me. Therefore, do not fear the enemy.”
When You Feel Like Giving Up
Between us and spiritual and material victories are numerous challenges. It is possible to despair, especially when we consider how big and scary the problem is vis-à-vis our weaknesses. However, when we focus on how God has fought for us in the past, we gain the faith and strength to confront our problems.
Therefore, today, if you feel like giving up, go down memory lane with God. Recall the countless times He has come through for you at your point of hopelessness. Because He dealt with the Pharaohs of your life in the past, He will fight your current Canaanites. When we review God’s dealings with us in the past, the current challenges will not scare us.
Prayer
Almighty God, when I feel like giving up, I will remember Your past interventions on my behalf.
