Yesterday in Sunday school the teens heard a lesson taught by Mrs. Laurie on David and Goliath. This is a story that we all know and have heard several times, but it is a powerful story of courage and strength. David volunteered himself to battle Goliath when no one else would. He knew that with God on his side he could do anything!
The thing that really got me thinking this morning was the memory verse that was given for today’s lesson:
Joshua 1:9 “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified: do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.”
We live in a world where a lot of wicked and terrible things happen. Just turn on your local news station or pick up the paper. There are tons of Giants in our lives! Everyone has something that they fight a daily battle with. To often we let Satan put that false sense or inadequacy in our minds. We think we aren’t good enough, or think that we will never be able to win the battle against the sin our lives!
Its time to, “be strong and courageous” and realize that with God all things are possible! The “Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.”
Take a stand against your giant today, give it to the Lord and go to battle together. I promise the results will be better than if you try to handle it alone.
Shine On!
