We all have had encounters with God that were too real to have been mere coincidences; experiences that we knew had their roots deeply entrenched in the divine. Think of David killing a lion and then a bear, and you would realize that God uses today to prepare His champions for tomorrow. He uses our every day experiences to shape our lives and strengthen our faith. These encounters do not have to be spectacular for them to be supernatural. You may not have killed a lion or a bear. You may not have done anything way out of the ordinary. It may just have been a voice that sounded so real to your innermost being that you immediately knew that was the voice of God, or maybe a night vision that has remained indelible on your mind. Cherish and hold them dear to your heart.

Our significant encounters are God’s tools in bringing us through the moment; our testimonies of yesterday are our most potent weapons in getting past our immediate challenge. If only we would constantly remind ourselves of yesterday’s encounter and not treat them as mere coincidences, we would have more than enough faith to trust God through today’s challenges.

God’s call to us this week is that; should doubt and fear ever arise, we must call to mind those same elements that made our faith rock-solid at the beginning; our significant encounters that made God so real to us when it all first began.
