Are You at Your Breaking Point?
Psalm 27:13 NKJV “I would have lost heart, unless I had believed.”
David was a giant killer, a psalmist, a very popular and powerful king in Israel. But when the stresses of life brought him to a breaking point, he wrote, “I would have lost heart, unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.” Are you at your breaking point today? When you get to a breaking point, one of two things happen: You either break down or break through! It all depends on what you do. David experienced a breakthrough because he knew the right formula: “Wait on the Lord; be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart” (Psalm 27:14 NKJV). There is a saying: “The same sun that melts the butter hardens the clay.” When trouble comes, you can turn against God because you think you have served Him faithfully and do not understand why He is allowing you to go through such a hard time, or you can see your situation from God’s perspective and turn to Him for the answer! Nothing catches God off guard, and nothing is too hard for Him (Jeremiah 32:17;27). He said, “I am God, and there is none like Me, declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times things that are not yet done, saying, ‘My counsel shall stand, and I will do all My pleasure’” (Isaiah 46:9-10 NKJV). You may be in a state of despair right now, but God is not. Your circumstances can become a platform for God to demonstrate His unfailing love and care for you. So, do not lose heart; God is going to bring you through this storm and bring glory to His name in the process.
