“They confronted me in the day of my calamity, But the Lord was my stay. He brought me forth also into a broad place; He rescued me, because He delighted in me. (Psalm 18:18-19, NASB)
“We must remember that David’s enemies were God’s enemies …
David had grown spiritually. When God enlarged him, his perspective changed. His enemies became as small as dust. You see, circumstances reveal character. People say, “A man is made by a crisis.” No, a crisis does not make a person. It reveals what that person is made of…
Are you circumstances making you smaller or bigger? Are they enabling you to overcome, or are they overcoming you? David rejoiced that God had given him victory in spite of his enemies and circumstances. The victory is the Lord’s. Let your circumstances make you bigger and greater for Him.”
(from Prayer, Praise & Promises by Warren W. Wiersbe, page 48)

Today I may be joining … Scripture & a Snapshot .
I love this perspective and how to view the obstacles and circumstances we face. Seeing the victory as God’s no matter what the outcome for me.
Amen! A crisis does reveal what a man is made of, but it is also like a gardener breaking up the soil to let something beautiful grow – if we let Him.
