NO PROBLEM WAS TOO BIG FOR GOD

In my quiet time this morning I read the book of 1Samuel 16 & 17. It was an account of David and Goliath. Every day the Israelites and Philistines lined up for battle, Goliath stepped forward. He issued a challenge to fight, one on one, with any Isrealite brave enough to face him. No one, not even the king's best warriors, dared to step out.

No one, that is, until a small shephered boy heard the giant's mockery of the living God, his tremendous love for God stirred him to action. David knew that no problem was too big for God. In his total faith, this small boy refused the kings's armour and marched staright down to face the armour - clad- giant. With only a tiny stone from the brook of Elah and his stringshot, David defeated the Goliath in the name of the Lord.

Recent archaeological excavations near the valley of Elah shown on 'Dicovery channel' have revealed Philistine burial sites. Many Philistine skeletons have measured as large six to seven feet tall. Although there is no way of knowing Goliath's exact height, estimates place him between seven and nine feet. Wao! that's  huge and scary in reality. But David defeated him with God's ability, not with his own strenght.

I was encouregd after reading this account in the book of Samuel, and I am convinced that I can also conquer my individual challenges, even if they are as big and scary as Goliath. I can overcome!

 If you are reading this post, I want you to know that with God's ability, you too can conquer you seemingly impossible problems. Like giants that would mock God and frighten us, these problems are not as insurmountable. For God is larger and stronger than our challenges. In John 16:33, Jesus puts it this way: " In the world you have tribulation, but take courage: I have overcome the world."

You are an overcomer, stay blessed.
