I'm reading a book called Facing Your Giants. It is a great read if your a human on earth. If you aren't then I'm sure it wouldn't be of any interest.
This book guides you through the story of David and Goliath. For those of you who aren't familiar with the story, it is about a young man (teenager) who fearlessly and faithfully kicks this 9 foot tall cocky, ugly, antagonizing giant's butt with just a sling shot and some rocks. He doesn't just kick his butt, he chops his head off. Dead as a doornail.
Now, here are some questions for ya....Is the story about David? Is it about Goliath? Is the story about God? Who is David? Who is Goliath? How did God come into the picture?
We have all had times where some huge, mutant animal has hunted for our souls. The mutant giant that taunts us and tells us we are no good, we are not good enough, we are not strong enough.
Listen to God instead.
"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. -Jeremiah 29:11
Hey Goliath ....put that in your pipe and smoke it!
THE WORD
-
Trust in him at all times, O people; pour out your hearts to him, for God
is our refuge. -Psalm 62:8
