Are you facing a giant today? If you are, don’t be afraid. Throughout our lives, there will be many giants (problems) that will come our way. The key in defeating each giant, is not to run from it but to run to it. For example, in the story of David and Goliath, Goliath had made a mockery of the Children of Israel. David heard Goliath speaking against his God and his people. The children of Israel saw Goliath as a man too big to defeat. David saw Goliath as a man too big to miss. The children of Israel wandered what Goliath would do to them. David knew what destroying Goliath would do for him. So David selected 5 stones and the Bible says that David ran towards Goliath. Notice he didn’t wait for Goliath to come to him. As David released the stone from his hand, the Bible says that the stone struck Goliath upon his forehead and Goliath fell face down to the ground. When God is directing the stones that you are throwing at your enemy, the giants in your life must fall at your feet. That day, David defeated Goliath and cut his head off. David knew how to get ahead in life.

If you’re facing a giant today, go find you a stone (a scripture in God’s word) and hurdle it out of your mouth towards the enemies of your life and watch them fall at your feet. Remember, David said, “You come to me with a spear and a sword, but I come to you in the name of the Lord.” That is the key to fighting giant’s in our lives. Let God fight your battles. He will give you strength and courage, but he is waiting on you to take a stand and run toward your giant today.
