Then
David said to the Philistine (Goliath), “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
The
story of David and Goliath is a good illustration of what God can do in the
life of a believer. The Israelites were afraid of Goliath, a large man who was
a warrior, who had killed many people and everyone was afraid of this dude.
When David came to the army camp to deliver supplies, he quickly saw his
brothers and comrades were afraid of this guy and David got mad. Why? Because he
saw the lack of faith in God that his brothers and sisters had over this evil
man. With all his confidence, David elected to fight Goliath using a few pebbles
and sling shot. We all know the story, David hit Goliath in the head, killing him
and rendering the Philistine army useless.
We
all have our “Goliath”. It might be a person, problem, addiction, or thing that
seems to overshadow your life, leaving you fearful, helpless and without hope.
I encourage you to put your faith and trust in God to deliver you from this
giant and trust that the Lord will deliver you from the injustices you have
been encountering. He might not claim the victory right away, but God will work
in your favor when you trust Him with your problem.
Give
your Goliath over to God today and trust Him as He prepares for that battle. Then
keep your eyes open to His handiwork and helps you overcome that wall, holding
you back from what God wants for your life. Trust Him in every battle, He has
already won! God bless!
