God doesn't measure trouble the way we measure trouble

God had led the Israelites out of slavery and for forty years through the wilderness. He had performed great miracles for them. He brought them to the very edge of the promised land, but they refused to go in. They had made it to the end of their journey, so what made them stop trusting God? Why did they refuse to go into the promised land when that had been their goal since leaving Egypt?

The Israelites' refusal to enter the promised land was based on fear. They were afraid. Often we reach a point in our lives when we are afraid to go that last mile. We trust God up to a certain point. Then we refuse to trust God with the serious situations, the tough decisions, the frightening circumstances, and the big problems.

Know that God doesn't measure problems by size, degrees or limitations. To Him all our problems are of the same magnitude. If you can trust God with what you call small problems, you should be able to trust God with what you call big problems.

To God all problems are the same size! And God can handle all of them...even the ones you are encountering today!
