'Your servant has killed both lion and bear; and this uncircumcised Philistine will be like one of them, seeing he has defied the armies of the living God.” Moreover David said, “The Lord , who delivered me from the paw of the lion and from the paw of the bear, He will deliver me from the hand of this Philistine.” And Saul said to David, “Go, and the Lord be with you!” I Samuel 17:36-37 NKJV
David had informed Saul that he had killed lions and bears while safeguarding his father's sheep. David had acquired the necessary skills to fight Goliath because God had already placed him in adverse situations, training him for his greater purpose in life. God had trained him to fight for those helpless sheep who couldn't defend themselves. Just as he was about to fight Goliath, he realized that it wasn't any different than the adversity he had faced previously. It was only on a larger scale and a larger stage. But when you boil it all down, it's all the same thing, fighting to protect sheep!
The same training and equipping exists in each and every one of us. If we are living according to God's perfect plan, He is providing us with life experiences that will prepare us for the ministry He intends for us to work in. This applies to our career choices as well.
Due to your life experience, you are equipped to handle any task related to your God-given purpose.
God will never place you in a situation that will destroy you or force you to sin.
”For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.“Jeremiah 29:11 NKJV
”No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it.“ I Corinthians 10:13 NKJV
You may choose to run away, but ultimately, God's plans will succeed.
”Many plans are in a man’s mind, But it is the Lord’s purpose for him that will stand (be carried out).“Proverbs 19:21 AMP
Considering his omnipresence, where can one possibly flee?
”Where can I go from Your Spirit? Or where can I flee from Your presence? If I ascend into heaven, You are there; If I make my bed in hell, behold, You are there.“Psalms 139:7-8 NKJV
