No one was big enough to meet the challenge of defeating the Philistine giant Goliath.
(1 Samuel 17) Saul stood head and shoulders above everyone else, but he was not big enough to meet Goliath. David being a person of faith, was determined to take the giant down to his death.
The world has so many suggestions to how we can meet the challenges of this world. So much is written with good intention, yet cannot match the results of a simple faith in God.
Like the world, Saul tells David, to put on this heavy armor to do battle against Goliath. And David did put it on, and was so encumbered by it, he couldn't hardly move. How is a small boy going to fight a giant, wearing something like that?
What David knew would work, was his sling, some stones, and most of all, his faith in His awesome God. David proved which was better. It was not the obstacles of the wisdom of men, but the Word of God.
All through the Bible we see the emphasis on faith in God. We can meet any challenge head on, knowing that God is with us, and that He will provide what is needed, to accomplish His will for our lives.
It is written, and we need to receive it in our hearts. So let's go, our giants are waiting! GP
