God wants us to have VICTORY in our daily life. He will train us to be strong by defeating giants! Anything that “intimidates” us can be a giant. It can appear suddenly or threaten us for years. We either face it, and become stronger, or back off and not move forward. Giants can be spiritual, emotional, and even bad attitudes. We must TRUST in God’s ways to defeat them…NOT in our own ideas.
We can defeat giants when we talk about past times that God gave us victory! What Bible Verse helped you? Learn to “picture” the victory in small problems, and you will EXPECT VICTORY in big ones. James 4:7 says the enemy will leave us alone if we resist him with God’s Word. JESUS IS THE WORD and He fights for us!
1 Samuel 17:34-36 shows how Daivd protected his sheep by using stones in a slingshot to kill a lion and bear. When facing the GIANT Goliath, he chose five smooth stones as his weapon. Perhaps he thought, “He is so big that I can’t miss him. I will just keep-on slinging stones until he is defeated.” Whatever his reason, David chose to use the weapon that always worked before. God’s WORD is our best WEAPON. Choose your “stones” to throw at the giants. DO NOT QUIT declaring God’s Word. By faith, you will SEE the giant defeated. You will SEE the VICTORY AHEAD!
