Word of the Day: Overcome the giants in your life with Jesus
Some challenges seem too big, and some enemies too impossible to defeat. And if we depend on our own strength, it's true! But when facing the giant Goliath, David knew he wasn't fighting alone. His strength was in God.
45 David said to the Philistine, “You come against me with sword and spear and javelin, but I come against you in the name of the Lord Almighty, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied.
47 All those gathered here will know that it is not by sword or spear that the Lord saves; for the battle is the Lord’s, and he will give all of you into our hands.”
1 Samuel 17:45 and 47
David's strength came from the Lord God Almighty. David trusted that God would work and faced Goliath full of this confidence. Not only that, he didn't seek recognition or his own glory, but rather sought for God to be glorified through his actions.
Examine your heart today: how do you face the giants in your life? Do you do it with your own strength or do you go to God for him to fight for you? Do you trust that you will see the power of God in action and wait on him?
In the toughest moments, when it seems there's no way out, remember that you can always trust in God. He gives you the strength to overcome life's gigantic obstacles. Defeat the giants in your life with Jesus and for his glory!
Put your trust in God and you will overcome the giants!

Word of the Day: This is the greatest gift of all...
What is the most important gift in the Bible? Is it prophecy, knowledge, wisdom, or faith? No! The greatest gift of all is love. The Bible says that God is love and that without love, we are nothing. Love transforms us and makes us more like Jesus. The Christian life should be a life of love.
If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing.
1 Corinthians 13:2
Any other gift you have been given should be used with love. If you use any other gift without caring for others, then you should go before God and ask Him for guidance, and to fill you with His Holy Spirit and His love.
God’s Love and Ours
7 Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. 8 Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. 9 This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him.
1 John 4:7-9
Do you want to be effective in your service to God? Do you want to transform this world for the glory of God? Do you want your life to reflect that God is the center and the one who drives you? Fill your heart with the most important gift: fill your heart with the love of God.

Word of the Day: Tired? Learn to Rest in God
Who has never felt overwhelmed with so much work? The long hours at work or school, the endless household chores, so many people demanding attention and help... There's no time to rest!
In the hustle and bustle of life, it's easy to forget about God. He is by your side, waiting for you to take a moment to say, "God, can you help me with all of this? I can't do it alone."
"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest."
-- Matthew 11:28
God wants to give you rest. In Psalm 23 God is referred to as The Good Shepherd, leading his flock to rest by calm waters. His rest is restorative, he refreshes the souls of those who follow when he leads.
1 The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing.
2 He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,
3 he refreshes my soul.
He guides me along the right paths
for his name’s sake.Psalm 23: 1-3
So, in his comfort, there is restoration and renewal. You don't have to do everything alone. Have you taken a few minutes today to rest in God?
