This Week's Scripture Focus - 1 Samuel 17:47
During a sermon about David and Goliath, my Pastor asked
this question, “Do you have a giant in your life that you need to defeat?” My answer was yes, I have a giant or
two. A giant in our life could be
anything that takes our focus away from God – jobs, money, overeating, addition
to something – and even sports, hobbies, and activities that we do on Sundays
rather than attending church to worship God.
David was so focused on God that he totally believed that God would help
him slay Goliath. David said to the
Philistine, “You come against me with a dagger, spear, and sword, but I come
against you in the name of God . . . Today the Lord will hand you over to
me.” David armed himself with only five
stones for his slingshot – one for Goliath and the other four for Goliath’s
brothers. From this story, God is
teaching us to take our eyes off of the giant in our life and instead keep our
eyes on Him. If we look at our giant
through the lens of God, that giant will become smaller. God will fight our battles and we will be
victorious!
Blessings,
Annie
