If you read the bible a lot or not, most people know the story of David and Goliath. But let me recap what happened right before the battle until the end of the battle.
After Saul agreed to let David fight, Saul put armor on David but he didn’t want it because he wasn’t used to fighting with it on. He grabbed five smooth stones out of a stream and put them in his bag. In his hands were a sling and his staff. Both David and Goliath walked on into the battle field. Goliath sneered at David, as if the Israelite chosen was an insult to him. Goliath was so confident in this fight because how little, young, and weak David was.
My favorite verse in this chapter is verse 46: David said to Goliath: “You come with a sword, shield, and spear, but I come to you in the name of The Lord, the God of the armies of Israel, who you have defined. This day The Lord will deliver you into my hand; and smite you, and take your head from you; and then I will give the dead bodies of your men to the birds and wild animals, and the whole world will know that there is a God in Israel! Everyone should know that The Lord doesn’t save with a sword and spear; because the battle IS the Lords, and he will give you into our hands.”
Goliath went to attack David and David ran to meet him. David took one stone out of his bag, hurled it, and hit Goliath in the forehead, knocking him to the ground. Therefore David ran, and stood upon the Philistine, and took his sword, and drew it out of the sheath thereof, and slew him, and cut off his head therewith. And when the Philistines saw their champion was dead, they fled. All of the Israelites cheered and David took the head of Goliath to Jerusalem.
Like this story in the bible, we all have “giants like David did. Giants make us feel insecure. Christ gives us the strength to stand up to our giants. If God is for us, no one can be against us! Without God, David couldn’t have defeated Goliath. God made it possible for him to win! In order for our giants to go away, we have to make it impossible for the giant to resurrect.
We CAN defeat our giants. The enemy tries to bring us down with these giants but we have to bring him down instead! We have the victory! Jesus won that for us on Calvary! If you can’t control something, you need to cut it out of your life. Quit blaming or complaining and get rid of the giant!
If you believe God is in control, all things are possible! Whatever is intimidating you, hurting you, or bringing you down, let it know that the battle is Gods and they aren’t going to win!
