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: Don't Give Up, You're More Than a Winner
37 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. 38 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, 39 neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Romans 8:37-39
Do you realize that God will never abandon you? Your situation may be dire but don't give up. God is in control of everything, and has already taken action to provide you with success!
When God promised to take the people of Israel out of Egypt, things became a lot tougher at first. For those who were enslaved, their work increased, and the harshness of the taskmasters more and more. Hope diminished each time Pharaoh said no. But God is faithful, he liberated His people.
11 and brought Israel out from among them
His love endures forever.
12 with a mighty hand and outstretched arm;
His love endures forever.13 to him who divided the Red Sea asunder
His love endures forever.
14 and brought Israel through the midst of it,
His love endures forever.
15 but swept Pharaoh and his army into the Red Sea;
His love endures forever.16 to him who led his people through the wilderness;
His love endures forever.Psalm 136:11-16
Through the cross and the death of Jesus, God has also liberated us. Life now may be difficult, we face daily struggles, but what about the 'big picture'? - death itself has been conquered so that we can spend eternity with God. We have been given the assurance that nothing will ever be able to separate us from the love of God. God loves you, and His love endures forever!
With God's love, we are champions!
