I was listening to 1 Samuel 17 being read the other night.
The story of David and Goliath.
I first heard that story when I was a child!
The thing with Gods word is you can read it over and over again and you will always get fresh manna from it! Why because it’s living and active. It’s God breathed.
Goliath a huge giant had been bullying the Israelites for 40 days.
He wanted someone to fight him.
No one came forward until David a humble shepherd boy who was just happening to visit his brothers.
This verse struck me
David replied to Saul
“The Lord who rescued me from the paw of the lion and the paw of the bear will rescue me from the hand of this Philistine.” Saul said to David, “Go, and the Lord be with you.””
1 Samuel 17:37 NIV
David with his little bag of stones and a sling was walking towards the massive giant Goliath.
With the utter confidence and dependence that his God was with him and his God was not going to fail.
His brothers were whispering in his ears “ who do you think you are?”
Others would of been looking at his small frame and thinking he is going to be snapped in two!
David knew his God.
His faith was so much bigger than his fear.
He had testimony after testimony of God fighting for him. God had helped him slay lions and bears.
This Giant in front of him was just another opportunity for God to show his power.
He knew that God had NEVER failed and He wasn’t going to start now!
With one small stone and a sling The giant fell and died.
David stepped out in faith because he knew his God.
This passage challenged me.
What would I do if I knew God and I would never fail?
I would pray over people to be healed or delivered a lot more than I do now.
I would introduce my Jesus to so many more people than I do now.
I know my God has never failed me I have testimonies to prove that.
I know that I need to shut out the lies of the enemy when the fear is trying to be louder than my faith.
Father God
Thank you that you are so much bigger than any giant we will ever face.
I repent of the numerous times I have partnered with fear usually of man.
Thank you that you are always faithful and you are always near.
I now step out in your power and authority knowing you and I cannot fail.
Amen
