Yesterday the devo was 1 Samuel 17, which is about David and Goliath. We've all heard the story but it has a much deeper meaning. As I read I really began to think and process. I wrote a little something in my journal and felt like sharing from my perspective. I hope it challenges you as it does me as well.
David stood up to Goliath to protect God's honor.We as believers should be doing this everyday. A lot of times when people put down and defy God we don't stand firm or stand up for what is right. Why is this? Why do we not stand up for the living God who gave us life? True life. It is not acceptable that we just sit back. Those "Goliath's" in our lives can be easily defeated if we stand firm in line with God. It seems so simple, but yet for some reason it is so difficult. Why? David was a courageous man. He was righteously angry that Goliath was defying God and his people. David faced his enemy and through the strength of God, he defeated Goliath. No "Goliath" should be holding you back. Come face to face with it. Whether it be addiction, anger, stress, worry, insecurities, lust, or relationships with people. These things are from the enemy, they are "Goliath's". Through the sovereign God stand firm. Your "Goliath can be defeated too.
A side note, today is day 13 of Awakening. It is amazing to just sit in the presence of God. Also, I'm getting baptized for the second time(for real this time) on Wednesday. I'm pumped.
