OVERCOMING THAT GIANT - PT - 10.
Renewed Faith For Present Victories
David’s confidence was not in his own ability, he was no match for
Goliath. David’s confidence was not in his armour, David refused to wear
man’s clothing. He was not going to dress like Goliath and look like
Goliath and act like Goliath so he could go out and try to defeat
Goliath. David understood that it “was not by his might, nor by his
power; it was by God’s Spirit.”
Think about something. If the armour that King Saul wanted David to wear was so that he be protected from Goliath, why didn’t King Saul put on the armour and go out and fight Goliath himself? Saul knew that no earthly armour would protect a man from Goliath.
David’s Confidence Rested In The God That Brought Him Through The Past!
This is where the battle was won, David knew that his God Was Bigger Than Goliath, David had set his mind and heart to Confront Goliath and Challenge Goliath. David had no doubt in his mind and no fear in his heart. If you are facing a ‘giant’ in your life, the only thing you can do is to put your faith in the God who can do all things. Don’t look at your ‘giant’ from an earthly point of view; look at it from Heaven’s point of view. God is bigger than any ‘giant’ that you will ever face.
Now, before David conquered Goliath, he had to overcome some obstacles that were before him.
1) David Had To Overcome The Obstacle Of Cowardice. The whole army of Israel were cowards.
2) David Had To Overcome The Obstacle Of Criticism. David’s brothers criticized him for coming to their camp. 3) David Had To Overcome The Obstacle Of Concern. King Saul didn’t think that David had a chance.
David was not afraid nor did he hesitate about going out to meet Goliath. We are told that (17:48) “David hastened, and ran toward the army to meet the Philistine.”
"May you possess the gates of your enemies"
Pray with me;
Lord empower me for daily victories in Jesus name!
Blessed weekend!
