When Your Back’s Against the Wall (Episode 87)

When your back is against the wall, it means you are in an extremely bad situation–one in which your ability to move forward is limited. Being a Christian does not mean that you can’t find yourself in a position such as that. Sometimes, God will allow that to happen so He can prove himself in your life.

In Philippians 4:19, Paul the apostle writes, “My God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus”  (KJV). That means God has resources for meeting our needs that are out of this world. Paul refers to these resources as God’s riches in glory. So, when your back is against the wall, God’s hands are not tied by  your circumstances.

There exists a place in life where only one viable option exists, and that is to trust God. He can take the little we have and do great things on our behalf. He is “able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think….” (Ephesians 3:20, KJV). Accordingly, if we trust God, life is never hopeless. It can only seem that way.
