FOCUS MOST ON GOD

Giants.  We must face them.  Yet we need not face them alone.  Focus first, and most, on God. Read 1 Samuel 17 and list the observations David made about Goliath.  I find only two.  One to Saul and one to Goliath’s face: “Who is this uncircumcised Philistine that he should defy the armies of the living God?”  David asks nothing about Goliath’s skill, age, or the weight of the spear, or the size of the shield.  But he gives much thought to God.  The armies of the living God, The Lord of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel.

In all, the God-thoughts outnumber Goliath-thoughts nine to two.  How does this ratio compare with yours?  Is your list of blessings four times as long as your list of complaints?  Are you four times as likely to describe the strength of God as you are the demands of your day?  That’s how you face a giant.
