Did you forget?

Most people know the Bible story of David and Goliath. It's one of the most recognized and re-told stories in the Bible. It's a story of strength and determination. But most of all, it's a story of overcoming doubt.

Goliath, a Philistine giant, taunted, challenged and threatened the people of Israel for 40 days straight, morning and night. All the people of Israel, including King Saul and all his soldiers were afraid. They doubted their abilities and would not stand up to fight.

Yet David, a shepherd boy from Canaan, overcame all doubt. No matter how high the odds were stacked against him, David's faith in God's abilities gave him the courage to stand and fight. David trusted that God was bigger than anything or anyone he would face. And because of that, he defeated the giant.

You may be facing some insurmountable odds right now. You may be overwhelmed by your doubts. But no matter what the odds are or how big your giant seems, remember that God is bigger. And through your constant faith in him, you too, can overcome your doubts and fears to slay your giant. Never forget the wonders that occured all throughout the Bible when people put their trust in Jesus.

David said to Saul, "Let no one lose heart on account of this Philistine; your servant will go and fight him... The Lord who delivered me from the paw of the lion and the paw of the bear will deliver me from the hand of this Philistine."
1 Samuel 17:32, 37
