Giants have to die

There he was. Little David the handsome young teenager standing before the champion of the Philistines. Goliath had struck fear in every one of God's warriors from Saul to Abner to the rest of the faithless and gutless army of God. God's people allowed the taunting and harassing from the enemy because as much as they looked around all they saw was Goliath. A giant looming before them caused them to focus on nothing but the giant. Hey, that's what giants do isn't it?

So because of an uncircumcised disgrace and defier of the living God, (David's words) God's people had become powerless, fearful and a laughing stock to those around. David decided to do something about it. He wasn't motivated by greed, power, prestige or a personal agenda; he was angry that so many of God's chosen ones had failed to seek God's direction and alone knew they could do nothing.

Not David though. He saw a giant, yes but he also believed in a God much bigger than Goliath. You see, the physical giant will always loom large over us when we close our spiritual eyes. God is a pretty big God and desires some pretty effective faith from His people. If David can kill Goliath what giant do you think we can kill with the power of God at our disposal?

I guess the question really is do we even believe God is bigger than the bogey man?
