In the world you have tribulation and trials and distress and frustration; but be of good cheer [take courage; be confident, certain, undaunted]! For I have overcome the world.
When David defeated Goliath in 1 Samuel 17, he gave us a great example of what it means to have God on your side. You see, your problem may be bigger than you are, but it’s not bigger than God.
If you had to face it on your own, you’d be in trouble, but you don’t have to face it on your own. God is for you, and He can overcome any enemy or obstacle that threatens to hurt you.
I realize you may not have seen this problem coming, but God did. He is not surprised or intimidated by oversized obstacles—He’s defeated giants before, and He can do it again.
Defeating giants is God’s specialty. What looks like an obstacle can actually be an opportunity for you to overcome the enemy through Christ. Don’t be afraid of the pressure. Stand strong in faith and watch the giants fall.
Prayer of the Day: Father God, grant me David's faith to face my own giants. Help me remember that my problems are never too big for You. Strengthen me to always stand firm. In the name of Jesus, amen.
