Facing the Giants - Part VI

1 Samuel 17:42-45  And when the Philistine looked about, and saw David, he disdained him: for he was but a youth, and ruddy, and of a fair countenance.  And the Philistine said unto David, Am I a dog, that thou comest to me with staves? And the Philistine cursed David by his gods. And the Philistine said to David, Come to me, and I will give thy flesh unto the fowls of the air, and to the beasts of the field. Then said David to the Philistine, Thou comest to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a shield: but I come to thee in the name of the LORD of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom thou hast defied.  So here we have Goliath the Philistine Giant ranting and raving about how he is going to feed David to the birds. Again, David cool, calm and collectively responds to the threat. David said "Goliath you may have a sword, a spear and a great shield, but I have something better than that. No not his sling shot! David said, "Goliath I have a weapon that you can't see. I have the Lord God of Israel!" You see David recognized that his greatest weapon was having the LORD on his side. Listen as we face the Giants in our lives, it's not out own resources (weapons) that are going to make the difference. It is all about our faith in God! It's not our wisdom, our strength,  or our strategy that gives us victory. It is God and God alone! Zechariah 4:6...Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts. What are we trusting in today? Our money, our intellect, our own will power? The only thing that we can trust in when it comes to facing the Giants in our lives is the Lord being on our side. Well I'm on the winning side, for I know who fights my battles!  Let Go and Let God fight your Giant today! Jesus Christ is still the all time undisputed heavy weight champion! He never fails!
