We all have had them or are facing them. They can come in all shapes, sizes and come around when we least expect them to. What are they you ask...they are giants!
As Christians we face them everyday whether it be something big or something rather small. The really cool thing is God gave us the sure answer to all our "giants." The bible is a remarkable tool that we have as a permanent reminder have how we are to handle each situation. One story in particular illustrates this very well. It makes me think of David and Goliath...
Nobody thought he would be able to beat the giant. He was a puny teenage shepard boy who nobody believed in. Even his brothers and Dad thought he was too small. However, God believed in him and that is all anybody really needs(even if we don't believe in ourselves). He faced that giant head on and said "you may come to me with a sword, spear and javelin, but I come to you in the name of the Lord Almighty God!" How powerful a statement, but what did David mean by that?
My thinking is this, no matter what kind of giant we face...9 feet or 9 inches, if we come to it in the name of the Lord, that giant will fall to the ground and we will be able to chop it's head off. So nothing in our life is ever too big to handle with God as our main tool for fighting:)
1 Samuel 17: 45-46
