Don't be discouraged when trouble comes. We have a mighty force that is stronger than any object and living things within the universe. He is the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. The Creator Himself that rules over the universe and every single thing that lives within it.
The story is told of King Hezekiah of Judah that faced invasion from Sennacherib King of Assyria. Instead of ringing the bell of emergency, he said and did the following to his military personnel.
2 Chronicles 32:6-8
He appointed military officers over the people and assembled them before him in the square at the city gate and encouraged them with these words: 7 “Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or discouraged because of the king of Assyria and the vast army with him, for there is a greater power with us than with him. 8 With him is only the arm of flesh, but with us is the Lord our God to help us and to fight our battles.” And the people gained confidence from what Hezekiah the king of Judah said.
It doesn't take much to change the condition as God is able. The turning point revolves around His word and it is so powerful that none of the physical object or other form of comfort would be able prepare the armed forces to be combat ready as claimed in the scripture. And not forgotten about our own identity as the children of God will help us to know that we are always on the site of victory as God is always with us.
