Triumphing Over Giants

Listen Now |  Play MP3 (Mobile)
READ: 1 Samuel 17:33-50

The Lord, who delivered me from the paw of the lion and from the paw of the bear, He will deliver me from the hand of this Philistine. —1 Samuel 17:37

In 1935, the debate team of Wiley College, a small and unranked black school in Texas, unexpectedly defeated the all-white championship team from the University of Southern California. This was a classic case of the unknown triumphing over a national giant.

When ancient Israel was in peril at the hands of the Philistines, there was a boy named David who actually triumphed over a giant (1 Sam. 17). The armies were drawn up on opposite sides of the Valley of Elah. They were probably afraid of one another and decided that the outcome of the battle should be determined by a battle of champions. The Philistines offered Goliath, a giant (about 9'9"), but Israel could not find anyone who was worthy or brave enough to fight. David heard of the dilemma and appealed to Saul to let him fight Goliath (vv.32-37). Saul was reluctant, but he agreed. David, armed with five smooth stones (v.40) and unswerving faith in the Almighty God (v.45), triumphed over the Philistines’ national champion.

We all face giants in our lives—worry, doubt, fear, sin, and guilt. But with limited and unlikely resources and unswerving confidence in our all-powerful God, we too can triumph over them.

Come, Lord, and give me courage—
Thy conquering Spirit give;
Make me an overcomer
In power within me live. —Anon.

God gives us courage to challenge our giants.

Bible in One Year: 1 Chronicles 4-6; John 6:1-21

Morning, all,

We've had storms, rain, hail, tornado warnings, and part of the time no power lately (though we needed the rain and 'we' are in no danger of flooding). The painters should have finished their work by Friday last week, but had to postpone. Hopefully they'll finish this week. Am tired of the mess!

My phone line is messed up and when I logged on yesterday morning, it connected at a whopping 4,600 bps. :( Tried it again and again and again and finally got a connection of 12,000. Just can't deal with that. Am still only at 21,400 and don't have patience to wait for thread and pictures to load, etc, so won't be around much today either.

Will check in later when back up to my lightning speed of 31,200. LOL

Good Morning!

Thanks for opening today with your pretty wildflowers and the little girls going barefoot. I used to love to go barefoot when I was a little girl. Kids today don’t much enjoy that like some of us did. Oh yes, I stepped on bees occasionally! And it hurt! Mama!!!!

[yorkie]

Happy Tuesday, Gee Bee!

[yorkie]

Thank you, Conor. I always love that graphic!
I hope all went well with your doctor visits
And wishing you a great day, today!

Happy Tuesday Everyone!
