Defeating Giants

I picture the young boy David already looking at his stature we all judge he cannot make it. His qualifications don't qualify, he misses the screening test. Once we read the story we find out that Goliath usually came before the battle and spoke frightening words to camp of Israel. Goliath was not the giant it was his message that was a giant. When they kept hearing what he had to say they forgot about their God. The testimony of Goliath prevailed in Israel, the priests,prophets and elders were all defeated. But there was a young man, because of his age their victory was delayed, because he was young no one dared to listen to him.

David came and he refused to even hear what Goliath had to say, for the first time in the plot of the story we see someone talking with Goliath without fear. He was saying my message is greater than yours! How could i lose against you? have you not heard how God split the seas opened and made us walk on dry ground? Have you not heard he fed us with bread from heaven(Christ to come)? Goliath the fear installer began to panick, his lips began to shiver as he said: "wha wha what have you sent me? a boy"  No longer was he pompous and proud he felt disrespected? God will disrespect the devil in your life! He wanted to show Goliath that he can use the smallest Israelite to defeat him! It is not about what you can do it is about positioning yourself right through speaking an effective word which will alter the circumstance you find yourself in.

I can picture david on his way to Goliath saying: "The Lord is my light and salvation of whom shall I fear" Remove fear from your lips, talk faith at all cost, even though the odds may look contrary to you there is help! David looks at goliath on the hill and says: "I will lift up my eyes to the hills were cometh my help" The man is saying were my problem stands I see my helper, my God is dealing with Goliath, David didnt slay Goliath with a sling, he slayed him with his words!- Read it again.
