Goliath
This morning on AFR, JJ said “Never let the size of your giants determine the size of your God.” That brings up several verses of Scripture for me one of which is “the battle is the Lord’s”. I have several things working against me. Heredity. Learned behaviors. Emotional scars. “When I am weak, He is strong.” I know that maybe for those of you who have 100 lbs to lose, my 20 lbs may be easy to blow off for you. Let me assure you this has been a life long battle. I could easily be 200 lbs overweight. My giants are huge and I’m so tired of fighting. I really just would like to throw in the towel because this never ends. But I don’t want to be like David’s brothers hiding in the tents who had defeated themselves without even stepping onto the battlefield. I want to sing Mandisa’s “My Deliver has set me free.” Today, I’m going to strip myself of man made armor, lay before the Lord and say, “I can’t do this, but You can.” My giant seems to be made of many mini-giants, but God can defeat them all. So if you will excuse me, I’m going to go fall on my face and gather my stones. My giant it huge, but my God is greater still!
