And David said,

"God has broken through

          my enemies

by my hand,

     like a bursting flood."

Therefore that place

is called Baal-perazim.

         2 Chronicles 14. 11

(Baal-perazim literally means

   "the Lord of breaking through."

The feeling of being overwhelmed

is just finally facing the reality

        of our need for God.

Our enemies are anything

            or anyone we fear,

both real and imagined.

But we are not alone in this.

It is not that God will

            provide a way,

      future tense.

God is already providing a way,

      present tense.

God is not limited by our fears,

nor by big bad circumstances.

I just need to listen,

respond,

be faithful

     and follow Him into it.

It is not my confidence,

but the LORD is my confidence.

Panic only blocks out the light.)

O LORD,

You are our rock

       and redeemer.

You break through

  in impossible places

that we would know

    that You are the LORD

and that others would see You

  without a shadow of doubt.

Help us to realize that

fear is just trying to do it

                 without You.

You never intended for us

   to do life alone.

Help us to see that

            we are never stuck.

You are with us.

You are indeed breaking through,

not just circumstances,

      but flooding our hearts

with Your Presence

   and steadfast love.
