Facing Your Giants

1 Samuel 17:4 And a champion went out from the camp of the Philistines, named Goliath, from Gath, whose height was six cubits and a span.

The story of Goliath is told all around the world. It is a story that connects to each of us. We all have giants that we have to face.

How to you face a giant?

Giants are large and frightening. They are not easily conquered. They have real strength and are intimitating because of their size.

David, is like us in the story. He is small in size and is overshawdowed by the size of Goliath. Our problem as big and so was David's. But...

44 And the Philistine said to David, “Come to me, and I will give your flesh to the birds of the air and the beasts of the field!”
45 Then David said to the Philistine, “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. 46 This day the LORD will deliver you into my hand, and I will strike you and take your head from you. And this day I will give the carcasses of the camp of the Philistines to the birds of the air and the wild beasts of the earth, that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel. 47 Then all this assembly shall know that the LORD does not save with sword and spear; for the battle is the LORD’s, and He will give you into our hands.”


The key to conquer the goliath in your life is your view and understanding of your God. Is your God really real? Is He the One who is sending you into the battle of life or are you out there alone?

We must get like David, "...our God will deliver us." Believe!
