Word For Today

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!

When everything goes wrong and you see no way out of your problems, what do you do? Believe in God! God has the power to save you. He will never abandon you!

In him and through faith in him we may approach God with freedom and confidence.

Ephesians 3:12

Confidence in Christ will give you strength and the ability to face life's difficulties with courage and wisdom. God wants you to trust in Him wholeheartedly, surrendering to Him everything that frightens and causes you anxiety. Free from fear and worries, you will be able to cling to what can truly provide you with a way out: Jesus Christ!

He is our firm hope, like an anchor for the soul. Able to sustain us even when the boat of life is adrift in a storm. Hold on to Jesus, He is the eternal rock that never falters!

Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful.
Hebrews 10:23

Remember: There is NO door that God cannot open. Trust in Him, pray for help, and He will assist you.

Put your trust in the Lord and make Him your security. He takes care of you!
