Facing The Giants

 

     Sometimes we need to be still and allow God to fight our battles. Gideon’s army was outnumbered by thousands. David faced down the giant many times his size. Moses had a speech impediment and God asked him to lead the Israelites. Rahab was a prostitute and helped God’s men to escape their enemies. She is listed in the genealogy of Jesus Himself.

     The disciples of Jesus were simple fishermen. They gave up everything to follow Jesus and brought many to Christ. The weaker we are, the stronger He is. Suffering and weakness bring us to a place of dependence where we allow God to work. When things are comfortable, we forget to rely on and call on Him.

But He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore, I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses so that Christ’s power may rest on me. 2 Corinthians 12:9

     The building of trust is important in any relationship. Learn to trust Jesus with your life. Give it all to Him today and be still. He will fight the armies you face, the giants in front of you, the weakness you experience and will give you rest for your soul.

“Come to me all you who are weary and burdened and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart and you will find rest for your souls. Matthew 11;28-29

Lord,

Fill us with Your peace as we go through difficult times. You will fight for us when we are too scared, too weak, too overwhelmed. We give it all to You.

In Jesus name,

Amen
