I heard a story of two farmers praying to God for rain to come. Both prayed but only one prepared the land. Who do you think trusted God more to send the rain? Mr. Bridges (Ray Wood)
1 Sam 17:39 And David girded his sword upon his armour, and he assayed to go; for he had not proved it. And David said unto Saul, I cannot go with these; for I have not proved them. And David put them off him.
Before your Giant can come down, you need to know who we are, and who you’re not, and who we are in Christ.
What was David’s challenge, for 40 days and evenings Goliath had been challenging Israel and they were “dismayed and greatly afraid.” Goliath was approximately 9 feet 6 inches tall, the giant was probably almost twice as tall as any other man in the Philistine army. There’s no doubt that it would have been an intimidating and fearful prospect. When we know who we are, and understand our limitations, and who we are in Christ we will take down our Giants.
“Courage doesn’t always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, ‘I will try again tomorrow.’” — Mary Anne Radmacher
