There are times when there is just one thing you can do when the challenge is before you. You have to face it. Nothing else will do. Except maybe to run or hide or give up. So your option is to face it and face it by faith. But that’s easier said than done. See how you have the ability and power and wisdom to meet the demand. When you rise up in your faith, you will be the one that’s victorious. You’ll see yourself accomplish something that makes you feel good. You’re fulfilled. You’re happy you did it.

Have you ever felt as if you were small in someone’s eyes? In their estimation or opinion, you didn’t have much to offer. Depending on how important their opinion was to you, that may have made an impact on you. It may have affected your own opinion of yourself.
But no matter how small someone says you are, you can do big things. When the devil sends words to make you feel insignificant or that you are someone without much power, remember that you have truth on your side and you have the power of God’s Spirit inside you. That’s huge. You can have victory because when you set your mind to it something big is going to happen.
Let me show you how this kind of belief and attitude looks. This story takes place during World War II, when the Allies thought they had reason to celebrate. The war was almost over. So when a huge offense came from the enemy, they were surprised and outnumbered. But they wouldn’t allow that to stop them from facing it, believing they could have victory.
A writer describes how small groups of soldiers would go to certain junctions where two roads met and they would make a stand for just the amount of time it took to impede the drive of the enemy into Allied territory. There were hundreds of these small groups.
They would sometimes go to bridges and crossroads—any place where they could affect the progress of the army. Some people may say it was of no use. Why should they bother? But those small groups of troops understood how they could have a big impact by doing this. They were in the snow and fog and didn’t have communications, but what they did proved to have a huge effect compared to their size.
Small in size, number, and power, but they were doing big things. That’s how you may feel. Small in number and your resources and power. But know this: God is saying to you this day you can do big things. By your faith, you can impede the progress of the enemy. By your faith, you can overcome his strategies. That’s because you have heaven’s resources, you have divine help, you have what the enemy cannot see and what he underestimates. You see those groups were underestimated by the enemy. Because of it, the Allies won that conflict. And you’re going to win your conflict. Believe that now. You’re as those troops. You’re a diehard. You’re strong. You’re determined. You’re devoted.
You have the faith to face it and to win!
Think of how small the men Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego felt when they were facing a fiery furnace. They were serving in a foreign country and the king, Nebuchadnezzar, had built a statue ninety feet high and nine feet thick. Big! Then he commanded that everyone fall to their knees and worship that statue once the music began. (Ref. Daniel 3.)
Because these three Hebrews men worshiped only the one true God, they refused to bow down. When this was reported to the King, he told them how they were going to be thrown into a furnace of fire if they didn’t bow down.
His final words were, Who is the god who can rescue you from my power? Well! He’s just about to find out who the God of these men is. He’s trying to show them how big he is and how much power he has and how small they are compared to him, but he didn’t know big their God is and therefore how much power they have.
Even though Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego were bound by ropes and thrown into that horrible fire, the power of God that was with them was greater. When the King rushed over to the fire to see their bodies burned, instead he saw four men in there, walking around. The fourth one was the Son of God.
And the Son of God is beside you to take care of you when the fire around you is big and strong. The conditions cannot burn up the power of what He is doing for you. Just by standing in your faith, you’re doing something big!
Because these three men stood in their faith, they were brought out of that fire unharmed. The King then honored their God and said anyone who spoke against Him would be punished. Then he promoted them into higher ranks in his kingdom. They had a big impact on an entire kingdom.
Don’t be concerned about how small you seem compared to what you’re facing. You can face it by faith and even if you seem small and without much power, you’re about to do big things.
A Spiritual Powerline to say out loud:
“I CAN FACE IT AND WIN!”
Here is a powerful prayer to say out loud:
Lord, even though the circumstances around me seem big and challenging, I can handle it! That’s because I have You in me and I have Your power and resources. Therefore I know I can conquer this. I can do big things through You. I declare I have victory. In the name of Jesus. Amen.
