Facing Lifes Giants!

Facing Life's Giants!
Are you facing a "Goliath" in your life today? Life's "Goliaths" can come in various shapes, sizes, and circumstances. It could be a bad relationship, a demeaning job, a medical condition, or a mounting debt pile. David faced what appeared to be a towering, insurmountable giant, but he was confident and victorious through the mighty power of God at work in and through him. We have the same power David had when he declared victory before his battle with Goliath. That power is not just a concept but a tangible force that can help us overcome life’s giants. 
Friends, David's confidence was rooted in practical faith habits established earlier by spending time in the wilderness listening to God's voice. Facing this life's giants requires spiritual training and conditioning like an athlete. Being spiritually fit like David enables us access to God's wisdom, courage and power. Then, like David, we will be conditioned, confident, and prepared when life's Goliaths rise before us. We should also remember to always look back on God's faithfulness through life's past battles. Spend time daily in prayer through God's Word and keep a spiritual journal of His past victories in your life. Then, when life’s giants rise before you, you can be confident that God’s victorious presence and provision will be sufficient no matter the size or challenge.
Onward and Upward+
Fr. Greg
