If you get weary from running with footmen, how can you contend with horses? Life will throw curve balls at us. The enemy may attack us on every side. How we handle little pressures determine whether we will crumble with the pressures of bigger influence.
🔶 We have to show resilience with little things first before God can trust and expose us to greater pressures. Otherwise how can you contend with horses?
🔶We have to be able to handle the affairs of our home, before God can trust us with bigger responsibilities
🔶We have to learn how to handle close relationships dispassionately, realizing that all men are the same everywhere, best to be moderate with our expectations. If you are crumbled with bethrayals of members of your household, how can you handle the backstabbing of outsiders? How can you contend with horses?
“If you have run with the footmen, and they have wearied you, then how can you contend with horses? And if in the land of peace, In which you trusted, they wearied you, then how will you do in the floodplain of the Jordan?” Jeremiah 12:5 NKJV
When burdened beyond measure, remember that there is a God who can raise the dead; no circumstance is too hard for Him to handle. Trust in God, depend on God, rely totally on Him. He is able and willing to deliver you from the worst of circumstances. He will restore, renew and strengthen you. You will recover all. He is the God who delivered us, delivers us and continues to deliver us.
