How To Defeat Your Giants

Good Morning to all my friends. This is another day that God has given us, let us be glad and rejoice in it. My prayer for you is that God will bless each of you today and give you His peace and His comfort in all that you do. Today's Challenge-------------------- How To Defeat Your Giants "In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world." John 16:33 Is your life filled with trouble today, and you don't know where to turn? In this world we will face all kinds of obstacles, trials and tribulations, and we should be wary of any doctrines or teachings that say we shouldn’t have to face these things. Why? Because the Lord said we will have trouble, but the important thing to remember is that God is greater than any problem you will face in this world. As problems present themselves, we should face them in the power of God, and overcome them with Him, because every problem is an opportunity to exhibit the love and power of God in our lives. It’s often through these situations, that the world gets our true testimony, as believers in Him. When Saul was king of Israel, there were no giant slayers in their midst, and when Goliath stood against the armies of Israel, the Israelites trembled. There was, however, a young shepherd, whose intimate knowledge of God inspired and empowered him to fight and defeat the evil giant. David’s victory over Goliath, paved the way for those after him to slay the giant’s offspring, who were also giants. So when those new giants arose to fight, the people of Israel already had the knowledge that these giants could be defeated as well. All around us, there are “Goliaths”, or evil giants…but none of them are “undefeatable”. In fact, we have an entire Bible full of examples, of saints who stood their ground and routed their enemies. Let’s follow their example, and set new precedents fighting the giants of our day. We too can leave a legacy of victory, inspiring our children and grandchildren to victory over the “sons of Goliath”. My Daily Devotional Volume Four August 8 Robert William Brock, Jr.
