God bless you,

Most people including many non-Christians have heard the David and Goliath story...a young boy facing a killer giant and destroying it through  God's strength and wisdom. No big weapons, no heavy duty protective gear, no human army backing him up; it was just Goliath, David, and his faith that God, the Lord of hosts had his back and will help him defeat the enemy. David wasn't the only one to face a giant...whether we admit it or not, whether we realize it or not, we all have giants we have to face and kill!! We all have Goliaths that want us dead (I'm not really talking about other humans, I'm referring to all the tactics Satan uses to try to destroy us). We all have things we are fighting against...some are clearly huge giants that intimidate us and some other giants may be hiding behind certain things that make them look smaller but at the end these are all things the enemy uses to try and destroy us. David took five small stones and a huge faith in God with him to war and with one of his stones, he took care of business and defeated his enemy...what are your weapons? How are you facing your giants? Are you defeating your giants or are they taking over more of your territory? No matter what you and I are facing today, God is for us!!! He will never stop looking out for us. He goes before us, he is right beside us, he watches our back, he surrounds us and protects us. Today, I encourage to look at your giants straight in the eye and tell them,” I come to you in the name of the Lord All-Powerful, the God of the armies of Israel. You have said bad things about him. Today the Lord will let me defeat you." 

1 Samuel 17:45-46

Let's not forget the following:

"Our fight is not against people on earth. We are fighting against the rulers and authorities and the powers of this world’s darkness. We are fighting against the spiritual powers of evil in the heavenly places." Ephesians 6:12
