SO WHAT? (what will I do with what i have read today?)
This giant named Goliath has the entire Israelite army paralyzed with fear. Along cam David - the shepherd boy. David had a secret weapon. He came against Goliath in the name of the Lord Almighty. With God on his side, David could not lose.
Those who defy the living God can sometimes seem like Goliath's. They are often well equipped, well financed and stand tall in the world, but God uses small and faithful people to topple these giants. Are there any giants standing in your path? Are there any situations or problems or organizations that seem to daunting? As God for help to stand up to them and defeat them in the power of His name. God is the secret weapon.
And when you take a stand, when you decide to take a courageous step, you give courage to others. That's what happened in this passage. Once Goliath was slain, the army of Israel had the courage to take on the rest of the Philistine army. Who needs you to take a stand? Who needs you to live for God? Who needs you to face the giant, to prove that it can be done?
These truths we have looked at this week make no difference whatsoever until you decide to live them out in your life. I pray to God that you will be the "DAVID' of this generation.
I love you guys. Stay faithful. Stay the course.
