Faith to slay giants
David said to Saul, "Let no one lose heart on account of this Philistine; your servant will go and fight him." 1 Samuel 17:32.
King Saul and the entire Israelis army cowered under the mighty roar of a ruthless giant called Goliath. They listened to his threats and intimidation for 40 days and became paralyzed by fear. Thousands of trained soldiers lacked the courage to face one giant. But David .... What others saw as a challenge, David saw as an opportunity. What others saw as impossible David saw as a miracle. This was the time for him to put his trust in God and act out his faith for expected results. God met David at his point of faith.
David faced Goliath and ran towards him with a war cry. "David said to the Philistine, "You come against me with sword and spear and javelin, but I come against you in the name of the LORD Almighty, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied." 1 Samuel 17:45. EL CHAYIL is LORD of Armies King of Glory. David's trust was in His God who is mighty in battle to fightwith him and for him to give him the victory.
David used what he had, a small stone in a sling shot aimed at the giant's head. God did His part. God sent a wind to guide the stone and with such power that it knocked Goliath dead. David had guts and God gave Him glory. David had faith and God gave him favor. To natural eyes David was fighting alone, but in the spiritual realm he was surrounded by a host of warring angels sent to help him. To natural eyes David was undressed for battle, but in the spiritual realm he was covered in the spiritual armor of His LORD and Savior.
God will react to your actions of faith. When you dare to step out against all odds, God will send His supernatural power to create a miracle. Today you can face your giant knowing that God is with you and for you. You have the power to slay your giant.
