GETTING OVER IT

2 Samuel 22:29 NLT In your strength I can crush an army; with my God I can scale any wall.

We all have times when life feels like we’re trying to climb a wall to get over it, and if you’re trying to get over something, let David’s life inspire you.😊 

We know he’d been through more than the average heartache and cried till he could cry no more. He experienced the loss of two sons, known the anguish of his daughter being sexually abused. He had fought a lion, a bear and a giant but he praised God through it all. 

He’d pretended to be insane when Saul threatened his life, he’d lived in a cave and a palace, he’d looked after sheep and led a nation, and through it all he praised His God. His wife treated him with contempt, and gone off with somebody else. He’d given in to temptation, made huge mistakes and suffered the consequences, but he got over it and praised God through it all. We read he was a man after God’s own heart who had this ‘getting over it’ mentality. 

No matter what has happened, regardless of what is still to come, God wants us all to have a getting over it mentality not a victim mentality. He wants us to know that with His help, His strength, we can not only get through anything, but we can ‘get over it’. 

Even when walls of disappointment, rejection or discouragement have built up around us and tried to pen us in, God says we can scale that wall with His power within us, if we’ll just keep our eyes on Him.

David said, “With my God, I can…” That inspired me and I hope it does you too. With God, you and I can do whatever it takes and we can ‘get over’ whatever wall of difficulty we’re facing, or get over whatever has upset, hurt or harmed us! 😊

Let’s give God praise today, because with our God we can. In Jesus name. Amen.
