Giants in the Land
September 13, 2020 | David McQueen
Life’s giants demand radical God-focus (1 Samuel 17:36-47). When David first heard the taunts of Goliath, his response was to bring all attention to God. While Saul and all the Israelites were dismayed and terrified from their focus on Goliath, David fixed his gaze on his Heavenly Father. His one desire was to dwell in God’s presence all the days of his life, to behold the beauty of the LORD (Psalm 27:4). When we come up against our Goliath, what would happen if we took our eyes off of that giant and set them on God – on His faithfulness, blessings, and goodness? God designed us to walk through life with Him, focused on Him, following Him, and relying on His strength. When this happens, we can experience victory over life’s giants.
