Hebrews 11:6 (ESV)
And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever
would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those
who seek him.
One of the greatest stories of the Bible is David and
Goliath. It's such a good story, in fact, that the world has come to make
common use of it! A prime example of this is when the underdog faces an
invincible champion in just about any sport on national television,
commentators always seem to make mention of David and Goliath.
Imagine the scene at the time of David. The children of
Israel were small compared to the Philistines. And here they are faced with
this enormously frightening giant, Goliath, champion of the Philistines.
All the Israelites shook in their sandals, saying
Goliath's too big for us to hit! All but one -- young little David. Instead of
fearing Goliath's enormity, David saw his size to be an advantage! He said, on
the contrary -- Goliath is too big to miss! That day, David became a hero for
the Israelites and his name would be remembered well --even to this day.
It all depends on our point of view -- the way we see our
circumstances. We can either walk in doubt, asking "Can God do this
thing?" or walk in faith, proclaiming "God surely will!"
We all have some scary Goliaths to face in our lives. You
may be facing one right now. Have faith, my friend! In our greatest distresses
God wants to show Himself powerful! Let's walk in faith for His victory!
Dear Lord, help us face the giants that come into our
live knowing that You already have it taken care of. In the Name of Jesus,
Amen.
