What God Has Set in Motion…

 DAILY VERSE

Goliath stood and shouted to the ranks of Israel, “Why do you come out and line up for battle? Am I not a Philistine, and are you not the servants of Saul? Choose a man and have him come down to me.1 Samuel 17:8 NIV

DEVOTION

Goliath started each day with taunts and ended each day with taunts. As time went by, all that demoralizing and diminishing had an effect on the Israelites. They began to believe in spite of their best efforts, something undesirable was going to happen to them — their defeat.

You may be in a similar predicament. Maybe you are experiencing a season where you’ve been waiting for God to do something big. Just as things start to come together, suddenly they are jerked away. This roller coaster can chew away at your life, erode your sense of confidence, rob you of sleep, blind you, and steal your joy.

Humans are imperfect. There may be some outside forces causing delays. God’s purposes are for good and abundance in your life. He may allow for some obstacles to strengthen your faith to prepare you for greater things.

Don’t allow the giants in your life to rip away your resolve or leave you defeated. What God has set into motion will surely be accomplished!

Bradley Hilton has always been a believer; it was in 2000 that he reaffirmed his faith and went all-in for Jesus. He felt a nudge from God to start a men’s group in his church. Influenced by this group he began a regeneration process that changed his life for a more active service for God. He began a newsletter to encourage others. Its growth resulted in a blog, The Daily Dose – Daily inspiration from God’s Word. Bradley and his wife, Michelle, share life together in Texas with their four children and two grandsons.
