Defeating Giants

Defeating Giants
Then David said to the Philistine, “You come to me with a sword, with a spear, and with a javelin. But I come to you in the name of the Lord of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied.” —1 Samuel 17: 45
Every day, this giant named Goliath would come out into the battlefield and challenge the armies of Israel to a winner-take-all contest. Using his words, his armor, and his size, Goliath sought to intimidate Israel. And it worked. Saul’s army faced the giant with great fear and dismay. But then along came David, who expressed great confidence before Goliath. David’s confidence wasn’t in himself, but in the Lord. He saw more power in the ability of God to deliver him than in this giant to destroy him. “It is not really a contest between the giant and me. It is a contest between the giant and the Lord. And though I wouldn’t stand a chance against the giant, he doesn’t stand a chance against the Lord.” David saw the conflict as an opportunity to bring glory to God.
**We need a proper perspective of the giants in our lives.
We need to take our eyes off of those problems and look instead on the Lord. We need to remember that God is for us, and He has made all the resources of heaven available to us. Through the power of the Lord, every giant in your life can fall. But you’ve got to trust Him.
Father, we thank You that You are bigger than any giant we may face. Help us to remember that the battle is not won with swords and spears and the wisdom of man, but with the power of the eternal God.
PS 12 years ago I was struck by a speeding car while walking my dogs. After 3 days in a Coma -I was graciously aware that God had indeed bought and paid for my life. I shouldn’t be here and I know it. I hope you understand we are all going to give account of our lives to Jesus one day. (2 Cor 5:10)
A simple question: what do you plan to lay at the feet of Christ for this great salvation he purchased you for? I am encouraged at watching the life of Billy Graham. Well spent. I endeavor to spend the rest of my life well and in the service of Jesus Christ while carrying out His Great Commission (Matt 28:18-20) See www.gotquestions.org/great-commission.html Soon we will hold another outreach for businessmen to invite others to hear the gospel. Will you participate? See TampaBayPrayerBreakfast.com
