“I just can’t do this! It’s too big!”
God says, “Yes,you can!”
Goliath, the Philistine–the giant–defied Israel and shouted fighting words to Saul and his army. He challenged anyone to fight him and him alone.
” ‘This day I defy the ranks of Israel! Give me a man and let us fight each other.’ On hearing the Philistine’s words, Saul and all the Israelites were DISMAYED and TERRIFIED.” 1 Samuel 17:10-11.
In comes the young boy David!
“Who is this uncircumsized Philistine that he should defy the armies of the living God?——Let no one lose heart on account of this Philistine; your servant will go and fight him.—–The Lord who delivered me from the paw of the lion and the paw of the bear will deliver me from the hand of this Philistine.” 1 Samuel 17:26,32,37
What a difference perspective can make!
Seeing impossible situations from God’s point of view helps us put giant problems in the proper perspective.
Once we see things through God’s eyes, we can fight each battle more effectively. When we say, “I can’t,” God says, “WE can!”
Have a blessed day!
