3 Bases to Overcome Obstacles

I. Put away pride, and keep showing up.

Let the goal in front of you be greater than the pride inside of you.

Matthew 7:7-8 ESV

7 “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened.

Perseverance will pay off.

James 1:2-4 ESV

2 Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, 3 for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. 4 And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.

Don't give up, because God has not given up on you.

2 Timothy 1:7 ESV

7 for God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.

John 14:15-18 ESV

15 “If you love me, you will keep my commandments. 16 And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper, to be with you forever, 17 even the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him. You know him, for he dwells with you and will be in you. 18 “I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you.

You have been given the Holy Spirit to conquer your challenges.

God often calls us into a life that's uncomfortable.

You'll never know what God can do if you don't give Him the chance to do it.
