Looking The Tiger In The Eye

We will face times in our walks with God when we come face to face with what appears to be an overwhelming force. And in the moment we will choose. We will choose to run or to fight. The choice is up to us, but may well be set before we ever meet that moment. It is set by all the moments in between. We can build our confidence over time. And that confidence i snot in us. That confidence is in our Creator, Yahuah (Lord). This is how David faced Goliath.

1 Samuel 17:32 And David said to Saul, Let no man’s heart fail because of him; thy servant will go and fight with this Philistine.
33 And Saul said to David, Thou art not able to go against this Philistine to fight with him: for thou art but a youth, and he a man of war from his youth.
34 And David said unto Saul, Thy servant kept his father’s sheep, and there came a lion, and a bear, and took a lamb out of the flock:
35 And I went out after him, and smote him, and delivered it out of his mouth: and when he arose against me, I caught him by his beard, and smote him, and slew him.
36 Thy servant slew both the lion and the bear: and this uncircumcised Philistine shall be as one of them, seeing he hath defied the armies of the living God.

David learned step by step. We can learn this way as well. If we will commit ourselves to learning before we need to face the overwhelming force, we will be prepared.

We, too, can slay the giants.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are our King. We praise the name Yahuah (Lord). Let Your kingdom come and be the only one standing. Send us today Your overwhelming provision. Heal us and deliver us. Let them not steal from Your servants what You have provided. Rise up, O Yahuah, and defend Your people. We ask all these things in the name of Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). Amen.
