My dear friends, it is a joy for me to see you this morning. Today, we are meditating on Psalm 18:29. It says, “With Your help, I can advance against a troop; with my God, I can scale a wall.” My dear friends, is there a situation that you are struggling to overcome today? Maybe you are looking to God for financial provision. Maybe you have been waiting for a long time to get a job. Perhaps you have been waiting for a promotion for many years. Maybe you are facing numerous problems in your family or are worried about your uncertain future.

But today, as David says, you will be able to overcome every obstacle that comes your way with the help of God. Yes, when God enabled David to defeat all his enemies, he sang these words: “With Your help, I can advance against a troop; with my God, I can scale a wall.” Today, with the help of the Lord, you too will be able to overcome every obstacle.

We see in the Bible that when the disciples were travelling in a boat across the Sea of Galilee, a violent storm arose. They thought they were going to sink and die. But suddenly, they saw a man walking on the water. When they realised that it was Jesus, Peter got out of the boat and started walking towards Him on the water. Yes, Peter kept his eyes on Jesus and walked towards Him. But suddenly, when he looked at the storm and the waves, he began to sink. Immediately, Jesus came towards him, caught him by the hand, and saved him. 

In the same way, we may have great faith and say, “God will deliver me from all my problems.” We may keep our eyes fixed on the Lord. But when problems arise, our attention may turn towards those problems and the people who speak against us. We may begin to think, “What if I am unable to overcome this? What if this happens to me? What if I fail? What if I die?” Such thoughts can fill our hearts with fear and anxiety. But Jesus will come to our rescue and hold us by His hand. Just as He delivered Peter, He will deliver us too. Then, like David, we will also declare, “With God, I can advance against a troop; with my God, I can scale a wall.” As Jesus delivers us, we will overcome every obstacle through His strength. Today, keep your eyes on Jesus. He is your strength. You may be saying, “I am sinking.” But remember, Jesus will reach out His hand and deliver you. You too will sing just as David sang. So, believe today, dear friends, and you will witness God's wonders in your life.

Prayer:
Loving Heavenly Father, You are my strength and my deliverer. Help me overcome every obstacle and deliver me from every problem in my life. Grant peace in my family and remove every trouble in my workplace. Lift me up and provide for all my financial needs. Bless my future, studies, and every effort I make. Reach out Your mighty hand, rescue me from every storm, and heal my body. Let me keep my eyes on You and never be overcome by fear. Help me advance and overcome every challenge through Your mighty power. In Jesus' name, I pray, Amen.
