Struggling to Stay Alive

Are you tired of listening to the bullies in your life?

David was!

Are you ready to take action?

                                           

David was!

So David said “No thank you” to King Saul and returned his tunic, armor, and helmet. Can you imagine that scene? The best armor the king could offer just wasn’t David’s size or style. It didn’t fit a shepherd!

 
David said goodbye to the king and headed toward the battlefield. Coming to a brook, he carefully selected five smooth stones and put them in his bag, gathered up his sling, and headed toward the Philistine.

Meanwhile, standing behind his armor-bearer, great big Goliath moved closer to David so that he could get a good look at the man who was brave enough to come out and fight him. But when he looked David over, Goliath saw that David was just a boy, ruddy in complexion and handsome. Goliath despised him!!

Does your Goliath despise you? This is not a rhetorical question. It begs for a deeply heartfelt response.

So I ask again: Does your Goliath despise you? Does your Goliath loathe you?  Does your Goliath look down on you and mock you? Does he despise your faith?
Are you tired of being despised by your Goliath? If you are like me, thinking about this makes you angry. Very angry.

But there is nothing that you have gone through that God cannot heal. Absolutely nothing. I know!
