Don't Let Anything Stop You!

When it comes to overcoming obstacles, what Bible characters do you think of? Perhaps Joseph, or maybe Paul? In 2 Corinthians 4: 7-11, we read, “But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from Yahweh and not from us. We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed. We always carry around in our body the death of Yahshua, so that the life of Yahshua may also be revealed in our body. For we who are alive are always being given over to death for Yahshua’s sake, so that His life may be revealed in our mortal body.”

Ask yourself, “Who do I know that I can look to as good examples of how to overcome obstacles?” Also, reflect on what obstacles you personally face. We all have them—whether they be a physical or mental handicap, a bad background, or whatever reason. No matter what your personal difficulty is, you can still worship Yahweh with all your heart.

Remember what happened when Yahweh called to Moses out of the burning bush? Moses responded with all kinds of obstacle he faced, “I’m not a great speaker. Who will even listen to me? I stutter; no one in Egypt will believe that You sent me.” But we know that Yahweh wouldn’t take no for an answer. Because of Yahweh, Moses became one of Israel’s greatest leaders!

Many great people have been afflicted with serious problems. For instance, Sir Walter Scott was crippled. Theodore Roosevelt had severe asthma problems. Helen Keller couldn’t see, hear, or speak. Yet all these individuals were able to do great things! It’s true—our bodies are weak. As scripture states, we are jars of clay. But Yahweh is the Master Potter. He has power over our “earthen vessels.” Don’t let anything stop you from giving Yahweh your all!

“...verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you,” Matt 17:10.
