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 to the battlefield and challenge the armies of Israel to a winner take all contest. Using his words, his armor, and his size, Goliath would intimidate Israel. Saul's army stood and faced the giant every day with great fear and dismay. But then came David, a Shepard boy, who was delivering food to his brothers and heard this blasphemy. David, willing to fight, expressed great confidence before Goliath. However, his confidence was not 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.
As with David, it is not really a contest between the giants in our lives and us, it is a contest between the giants and the Lord. And like David, we too can stand and fight in the Lord's power and His might. All we need is the proper perspective about the giants in our lives and simply place them at God's feet. Then through faith, we walk in the power of His promises remembering that; "If God is for us, who can stand against us." (Romans 8:31)
Through the power of the Lord, every giant in our life can fall.....but we must trust in Him.
The Truth
"Commit your way to the Lord, Trust also in Him and He shall bring it to pass." (Psalm 37:5)
