“David said, “the Lord, who delivered me from the paw of the lion and from the paw of the bear, He will deliver me from the hand of this Philistine.” 1 Samuel 17:37

David was a young man and small of stature who literally swam inside the armor upon his shoulders. Goliath was a towering man among men. I can easily picture the scene, with the ultimate warrior standing at the top the hill daring the Israelites to send anyone to meet him. David was a most unlikely choice. He was not trained in combat and certainly not muscle bound to fight hand to hand. Yet David knew something. More importantly, he HAD something. David had faith. In the New Testament Jesus described such a faith, saying in Mark 11:24, “Whatever you ask in prayer, believe you have received it and it will be yours.” David had a call upon his life from God, and he believed it! 

You Have This Same Call

Don’t believe me? Then read Jeremiah 29:11, a verse l look too often and one that we should pay great attention to. “For I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord. Plans to prosper you and not to harm you. Plans to give you a future and a hope”. Today every one of us faces a Goliath our lives: It may be illness, bankruptcy, relationships, joblessness, financial hardship and many more. Of this list, or any other list you could possibly ever dream up, there is absolutely nothing that compares with the Power of God! The Almighty, All Powerful, Omnipotent God is your heavenly Father. He is saying to you that He has a plan for your life! A plan to prosper you and not to harm you. A plan to give you a future and a hope. Step forward in faith today no matter what you face! God will deliver you from the hand of your Goliath!
