So everyone knows the story of David and Goliath right? David was the smallest and youngest of his brothers and looked after the sheep, he wasn't a "warrior" but he stepped up and took on the challenge of killing Goliath, the giant. It says in 1 Samuel 17:34 that when a lion or bear came near the flock he would strike it and rescue the sheep from it. He then says "The LORD who delivered me from the paw of the lion and the paw of the bear will deliver me from the paw of the Philistine" in verse 37.
I don't think David saw Goliath as "any bigger a challenge" than the lion and the bear. He knew that the LORD his GOD would deliver him from any challenge, because no challenge is too big for his God. He had this revelation in him that there was no fear when he saw the giant.
So, the significance of this story is that it was prophecied over me just over a year ago and I am only coming to grasp it's true meaning in my life now. I am realising that what I am facing now is nothing for God to overcome. That it isn't any more of a challenge for God than the last challenge I went through.
It is so easy to just read that and be like "yeah that is true" but there is more to it than that if you want to REALLY have it be truth in your life. Reading a verse once a week for a problem you are facing is NOT gonna cut it! Lately I have been reading and re-reading the same verse everyday and through out the day, I have stuck it in places I see regularly, I have memorised them so that I cain remember and speak them out in times of need.
I am getting it in my head his promises.
If you feel like you are facing a giant bigger than you, something bigger than you think you can handle then remember that no challenge is too big for God.
Remember also 2 Chronicles 20:15 "Do not be afraid or discouraged because of this vast army. For the battle is not yours but God's".
