You know there are times in life you probably come across people who would want to let you know how much they dislike you,you can’t measure to their status,who feel that they are strong physically to deal with you or how they feel about your looks,background.If that happens to be you,its okay and you don’t have to beat yourself that you ain’t measuring to their standards or opinions.
There was a man in the book of 1 Samuel 17 by the name Goliath the Giant who kept taunting Israel day after day to choose a man to fight with him.By his constant taunts,Israel was greatly dismayed and afraid of him.A young herdsboy by the name David when he showed up on the scene,Goliath cursed him and even said how he was going to kill David and give his flesh to the birds of the air and animals.So how did David respond?
“You come to me with a sword,with a spear, and with a javelin.But i come to you in the name of the Lord of hosts,the God of the armies of Israel,whom you have defied“
The outcome was that David took his sling with one smooth stone and aimed it at Goliath’s forehead and released it and it hit him and down he went dead.So what happened with his scares,threats,tauntings,curses that he had spewed so much on Israel?He was gone because he had trusted in himself and with the weapons he had not knowing that the battles are fought by God and He can use any means to give victory to those who trust in Him faithfully.
Leave all your battles to Him,don’t fight for you won’t win BUT HE WINS if you let HIM do the work.
