Do you fear facing giant problems?
Perceive: What a difference perspective makes. Most of the men watching this battle saw a huge, fierce warrior. David saw a mere man who was defying the army of the living God. He knew if he faced Goliath he was not alone. God had sustained him in the past and provided him with an ongoing faith experience for the future. Through his know-how in the field, he acquired a confidence in God for his one-on-one battle with Goliath. He knew the Lord would fight with him.
Practice: The men of Israel viewed the situation as impossible; David viewed the situation from a godly perspective. Viewing difficult situations from God's view, helps us put seemingly impossible situations in the right context. Once a man sees his unbelievable circumstance and recognizes his battle lines, he can wage physical and spiritual warfare more effectively. While the rest of the army stood in fear, David readied to act. With God on his side, there was no reason to wait. What situations are you facing today that could be preparing you for the future?
Pray: O Lord, give me the courage to face the giants in my life. Help me see them from Your perspective with a spirit of courage.
