Facing Your Giants

By Max Lucado

You know your Goliath. You recognize his walk, the thunder of his voice. He taunts you with bills you can't pay, people you can't please, habits you can't break, failures you can't forget, and a future you can't face. But just like David, you can face your giant, even if you aren't the strongest, the smartest, the best equipped, or the holiest.

David's life story is punctuated with nevertheless. The runt of eight brothers, nevertheless, he was chosen to be the King of Israel. Nicknamed "Twiggy" by his nine-foot-nine-inch adversary, nevertheless, he slew Goliath with a strip of leather and a pebble. As king, he committed the double crime of adultery and murder, nevertheless, he was called "a man after God's own heart."

Do you need a nevertheless to be written into your biography? Fortunately, God has plenty to go around. You face giants; nevertheless, God will strengthen you. Turn a deaf ear to discouraging voices, and open your eyes to new choices.

How long since you loaded your sling and took a swing at your giant? Lift your eyes, giant slayer. The God who made a miracle out of David stands ready to make a miracle out of you!
