Giants

 Giants

David went against a giant and we read the story over and over again

We stand amazed at the power of God and feel we can win. 

We face our own battles, but the enemy seems so strong. 

We don't feel so confident, and wonder what if we are wrong?

God allows these giants in our path, to guide us to the truth. 

He makes them look insurmountable from our point of view.  

But He is with us in every interaction and in every fight. 

We just have to make sure we are standing for what is right. 

David went out to this giant with just a sling and a few stones.

He went and faced him bravely because he knew he was not alone. 

God was with him and protected him in this fight. 

So David boldly proclaimed the truth and marched courageously into the night. 

We have giants in our life that scare us into falling in line. 

Despite what we know is true we feel outnumbered and want a sign. 

We want to be assured that this fight is where we should be. 

We don’t want to stir the pot unnecessarily. 

But my friends, let’s not complicate what God has put on our heart. 

We don’t need to reason or calculate His part. 

We just need to have faith that He is in control of each move we make. 

And He will hold us in His hand.  He determines our fate. 

So go into the valley alone with your sling and stones. 

Go out into the dark and face the giant alone. 

Because up in the heavens there is an army on your side. 

And they will light your path and be your guide. 

David faced a giant and we all know how that turned out. 

God will take them down.   Have fear and never doubt. 

His plan will be accomplished with or without us, as He is sovereign in the earth. 

So trust Him and go forth in His armor with His weapons and His Word.
