WHO OR WHAT ARE THE GIANTS IN YOUR LIFE?
Perceive: In the act of bravery and courage, young David uses his skills, exercises his faith, and then cuts off Goliath’s head. Israel defeats the enemy, and Saul recognizes David. While this warfare on earth was a young man and warrior giant, the real battle was between the God of Israel and the pagan god of the Philistines. Throughout the Bible, God moves in dramatic ways to make His sovereign power known both to Israel and to the nations of the world.
Practice: David knew the Lord would fight with him. Goliath purposely attempted to intimidate his young opponent. Facing giants is an intimidating experience, even for seasoned warriors. Unfortunately, no one else can fight for you. It’s on the lonely battlefield that you learn to trust in God. David’s eyes were not on the giant; his eyes were on God. He was not out to impress anyone. Instead, he ran to meet Goliath! What are the giants in your life? How can you exercise your faith in facing them?
Pray: O mighty God, help me run to the battle and use the weapons of this warfare to defeat the giants in my life. Giants like ____________. Help me take down the giants and strongholds that seek to destroy my life.
