Abundant Faith
“But without faith, it is impossible to please him: for he that comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.” Hebrews 11:6
One of the greatest stories in the Bible is about David and Goliath. It’s such a beautiful story, so much that the world has come to make common use of it! A prime example of this is when the underdog faces an invincible champion in just about any sport on national television, commentators always seem to make mention of David and Goliath.
Let’s imagine the scene at the time of David. The children of Israel were small compared to the Philistines and they were faced with this enormously frightening giant, Goliath, the champion of the Philistines.
All the Israelites were scared saying Goliath is too big to be hit! All but one, the young David. He was not even enlisted yet in the army. Instead of fearing Goliath’s size, David saw his size to be an advantage! By faith, he said Goliath is too big to miss! And that day, David became a hero for the Israelites and his name would be remembered well, even to this day.
It all depends on our point of view – the way we see our circumstances. We can either walk in doubt, asking “Can God do this thing?” or walk in faith, proclaiming “God surely will!”
We all have some scary Goliaths to face in our lives. You may be facing one right now. Have faith, child of God. In our greatest distress, God wants to show Himself powerful! Let’s walk in faith for His victory!
