CHILD-FRIENDLY WHAT ELSE DO I HAVE?

Judges 18:24 GNT

Micah answered, "What do you mean, 'What's the matter?' You take my priest and the gods that I made, and walk off What have I got left?"

 

God should always be the One we trust the most!

In Judges 18:24, Micah cried, “You have taken away my gods and my priest. What else do I have?” He felt scared and empty because everything he trusted could be taken away. His “gods” were things he made. His priest was someone he hired. None of them could truly protect him.

Micah’s words teach us something important: 

Anything we build without God can be taken away, but what God gives us can never be stolen.

Sometimes life changes suddenly. 

A friend moves away. 

A plan doesn’t work out. 

Something we love gets lost.                                                                                                                       

And we may feel like Micah and think, “What else do I have?”

But Micah’s problem was that he trusted the wrong things. His foundation was weak. When we trust God, our foundation is strong because God never changes.

Psalm 20:7 reminds us that some people trust in things, but we trust in the name of the Lord. Psalm 27:1 says God is our strength, so we don’t need to be afraid.

Many people in the Bible learned this too: 

- Job lost everything but still trusted God. 

- David was chased and tired but said God was all he needed. 

- Paul lost many things but said knowing Jesus was worth more than anything.

Sometimes God lets things fall away so we can hold onto Him more tightly. And when we do, we discover that God is enough.

God whispers to us, “You still have Me—and having Me means you have everything.”

REFLECTION QUESTIONS

·       What things have I trusted that can be taken away? 

·       Has God used hard times to help me trust Him more? 

·       What does it mean for me to say, “God is my portion”?

PRAYER: Father, when life shakes the things, I hold onto, help me hold onto You. Be my strength and my foundation. Teach me to trust You more each day. Amen.

IT IS NEVER TOO LATE TO START AGAIN!

Job 17:10-11 GW   "But now, all of you, come and try again! I won’t find one wise man among you.  My days are passing by. My plans are broken. My dreams are shattered."[10]   Life may require us to start again—and it’s never too late to start over. One of life’s certainties is that everyone will experience failure at something at some point. Life is never an unbroken series of victories. Setbacks, losses, and sometimes defeat will happen and may overwhelm us. Defeat may be thrust upon us by circumstance or by others, or we may defeat ourselves by our own thoughts and actions. When this happens, some give up, some persist until they succeed, and others are willing to start over again. Luke 7:11-15 gives the account of the widow of Nain, on her way to bury her only son, crying, distraught after losing another close family member. On the way, Jesus saw her, had compassion, and acted.  The woman must have thought, "Is He kidding? Does He know what I've been t...

DIVINE VISION!

Jeremiah 1:1-11 NASB The words of Jeremiah the son of Hilkiah, of the priests who were in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin, [2] to whom the word of the Lord came in the days of Josiah the son of Amon, king of Judah, in the thirteenth year of his reign. [3] It came also in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, until the end of the eleventh year of Zedekiah the son of Josiah, king of Judah, until the exile of Jerusalem in the fifth month. [4] Now the word of the Lord came to me, saying, [5] “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, And before you were born I consecrated you; I have appointed you as a prophet to the nations.” [6] Then I said, “Oh, Lord God! Behold, I do not know how to speak, Because I am a youth.” [7] But the Lord said to me, “Do not say, ‘I am a youth,’ Because everywhere I send you, you shall go, And all that I command you, you shall speak. [8] “Do not be afraid of them, For I am with you to save you,” declares the Lord. [9] Then the Lord stretch...

RESISTANCE FROM STEPPING INTO PURPOSE!

John 16:33 AMPC I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have [perfect] peace and confidence. In the world you have tribulation and trials and distress and frustration; but be of good cheer [take courage; be confident, certain, undaunted]! For I have overcome the world. [I have deprived it of power to harm you and have conquered it for you.]   Stepping into your God-given purpose is one of the most powerful decisions you will ever make. But it is also one of the most resisted. The Bible makes it clear that whenever God calls a person, opposition rises—externally, internally, and spiritually. Jesus Himself tells us that trials will come, but His victory gives us courage and peace. Every believer must understand this: resistance is not a sign that you’re in the wrong place; it is often proof that you’re stepping into the right one. Everyone called by God faces resistance! Throughout Scripture, the moment people stepped into divine purpose, they faced pushback. ...
