God Is Able

“And there went out a champion out of the camp of Philistines, named Goliath, of Gath, whose height was six cubits and a span.”

I Samuel 17:4

The Philistines had a champion, but God’s man David would be the conqueror of the Philistine’s champion.  The King of kings had His hand upon His man.  The very heart and soul of the wonderful account of David’s victory over the giant Goliath is the faith David had in God to win the victory (take time to read this wonderful account in David's life).  Those in the camp of Israel didn’t believe in David and those in the camp of the Philistines certainly didn’t believe that the shepherd boy had a chance with a sling and five stones. I would rather be an instrument in the hands of the Living God than a pawn in the hands of the devil.

Be an instrument in the hand's of God and the instrument He puts in your hands will be wielded in the power of God and not in the strength of self. The redeemed will be enabled and empowered upon the battlefield of the cause for Christ.

Dear friend, don’t be surprised by what you are about to read!  You are going to find yourself in situations when your brothers and sisters in Christ just won’t get it when the God of heaven calls you to do something well beyond your own capability, strength and resources.  There will be family members who will not understand your exuberance or the fire that kindles your excitement.  God has, God can and God will use the most unlikely person to do a powerful and mighty work. Praise God!!  Mark it down, there will be doubters, but don't you dare stop. There will be those, who though you may not here their words they will scoff and question the validity of what you are called to do. The enemy will be sure to show himself.  He will whisper doubt in your ear while knocking on your hearts door like an attacking lion. Don't you dare stop!  Stand tall and strong in the power of God and in His might.  Never allow the lack of faith of another to dilute your trust in God, and what God has called you to do.  Victory will be sweet and God will get all the glory and praise. You will be an example to others who God wants to use as they endure the same doubters and roadblocks. We need to be building blocks not stumbling blocks.

David’s faith was on display that day for all to see. My friend, allow God to do that which He has called you to do.  Our time is short, but we move forward by faith. Let’s go slay those giants! In the power and the provision of Almighty God!

God is able!
