So David triumphed over the Philistine with a sling and a stone; without a sword in his hand he struck down the Philistine and killed him. -1 Samuel 17:50 NIV
Your life right now may seem like a modern-day tale of David and Goliath. You may be ostracized and counted out by others, feeling that they have a greater chance of succeeding than you. They have more education. They have more strength or more support than you.Here you are, like David, with just a few small stones going up against a giant with a sword and heavy armor. The giant you are facing may have defeated you time and time again, but do not give up now. The seemingly insurmountable odds stacked against you are not your truth; they are mere stepping stones leading to your place of destiny.David did not allow his lack of size to defeat him as he battled the giant. In the same fashion, within you, there is a champion. You have what it takes to be victorious. The Apostle Paul explains, “…this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us. We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed” (2 Corinthians 4:8-10 NIV).You will see victory when you follow the Holy Spirit’s promptings. Be a giant slayer today. Move forward in the confidence of God. He is with you!
Pray that God will open your eyes to His direction as you set out to defeat what has challenged you.
Pray for strength to move forward in faith with confidence.
