1 Samuel 17:45 David said to the Philistine, “You come against me with sword and spear and javelin, but I come against you in the name of the Lord Almighty, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied.
David and Goliath. Most everyone has heard the story where David, a young shepherd boy, goes out on the battlefield with just a sling-shot and defeats and kills Goliath, a warrior giant. It’s a great and powerful story. I would encourage you to read 1 Samuel 17 if you haven’t read it in awhile.
I love this story because it teaches us on how we can DEFEAT OUR OWN GIANTS. David defeated Goliath because of God. He trusted and had faith in God, the Lord Almighty. Despite what he saw (a warrior, a giant of a man), David’s past experiences where God rescued him from a lion and a bear, led him to face and defeat Goliath head-on.
We all have our “Goliaths” in our lives; challenges and problems that seem impossible to overcome. BUT God is THE GOD OF POSSIBLE. With Him, you can overcome any challenge. The key is to have faith and to trust God.
Like David, spend time with God and develop a relationship where you get to know God. He loves you and wants a relationship with you. He will be there always. You can DEFEAT YOUR GOLIATH with God at your side.
