I almost posted the resemblance. d:o)

And I was thinking about President Trump and America’s birthday and the lack of being miserable.

God Looms Larger

Bible in a Year : Job 34–35; Acts 15:1–21

You come against me with sword and spear and javelin, but I come against you in the name of the Lord Almighty. 1 Samuel 17:45

Giles Kelmanson, a South African game ranger, described the incredible scene: two honey badgers battling a pride of six lions. Although outnumbered, the honey badgers refused to back down from ferocious predators ten times their size. The lions thought the kill would be simple, but video footage shows the badgers walking away with something like a swagger.

David and Goliath offer an even more improbable story. Young, inexperienced David confronted the fierce Philistine Goliath. Towering above his young combatant, Goliath possessed brute strength and unrivaled weaponry—bronze armor and a lethal, razor-edged javelin (1 Samuel 17:5–6). David, a fledgling shepherd, carried only a slingshot when he arrived at the battlefield with bread and cheeses for his brothers (vv. 17–18).

Goliath challenged Israel to engage in battle, but no one was willing to fight. King Saul and “all the Israelites were . . . terrified” (v. 11). Imagine the shock when David stepped into the fray. What gave him the courage none of Israel’s hardened warriors possessed? For most, Goliath dominated their vision. David, however, saw God. “The Lord will deliver [Goliath] into my hands,” he insisted (v. 46). While everyone else believed Goliath controlled the story, he believed God loomed larger. And, with a single stone to the giant’s forehead, David’s faith proved true.

We’re tempted to believe that “Goliath” (our troubles) directs the story. God is larger, however. He dominates the story of our lives.

By Winn Collier

Reflect & Pray

What concerns threaten to overwhelm you these days? How does God’s reality, the fact that He’s larger, transform your perspective?

How about listening to Hollywood Trump haters on CNN and getting angry and depressed about it?

Hey Kathy, my wife an I are heading to Fairbanks in April, for our 25th Anniversary, going to go dog sledding in Wiseman, skip down to Valdez, and then to Anchorage, and back to Fairbanks. I spent two years at Ft. Wainwright 84-86, this will be her first time there, we are very excited to visit your state. What area are you? Maybe we could crash on your couch or something while we are there. :)

Thanks for posting that, Kathy. I’ve taken a screenshot of it. Sad to say, it applies to a bunch of people I know.

Dear God:
I ask that no Airman, Coast Guardsman,
Marine, Sailor, Soldier, Reservist, National Guardsman, or Merchant Marine
feel alone or forgotten.

O Israel, hope in the Lord;
For with the Lord there is loving kindness,
And with Him is abundant redemption.
And He will redeem Israel
From all his iniquities.

Psalm 130:7 & 8

I always look forward to your posts.

I lived in Alaska in the late fifties/early sixties. Graduated from high school in Anchorage. Lost several friends
in the ‘64 earthquake. Been back several times, would move there if my children and grand babies were not settled here.

We even have a husky named Alyeska....one of my favorite places. Is the Double Musky Inn still there?
