slaying the giants

-

Then the Philistine said, “I defy Israel’s troops this day! Give me a man so we can fight each other!”  When Saul and all the Israelites heard these words of the Philistine, they were upset and very afraid. 1 Samuel 17:10-11 (NET)


Attune your ears to my words. Now is not the time to listen to the taunt of the enemy.  His boasting will certainly come to a sure end. Look beyond what seem to be giants on the horizon and see with new eyes.

Look to him who died for you. His stripes continue to bring healing. His eyes continue to give guidance to those who look to him. Learn his ways. Do not draw attention to yourself, forsake idol words, but be found moving in what I show you, else you will fall.

I will open your eyes and show you what you need to see. As you face the giants I will guide you, if you learn to listen in confidence. I will provide opportunities for you to grow in my ways.

Be not afraid, but walk with me. I will direct you in slaying the giants.


David went on to say, “The LORD who delivered me from the lion and the bear will also deliver me from the hand of this Philistine!” Then Saul said to David, “Go! The LORD will be with you.”  1 Samuel 17:37 (NET)

Do not be discouraged. I am with you. Yes, I am working within you, despite what you don’t see or sense. I am with you. Drink-in the water I offer. Apply the balm of my peace to your restlessness. My words bring encouragement. Let them soak into your life. My ways bring wholeness, for now and in the time yet to be revealed. I am active within your life. Rest in me and do not allow discouragement to affect you. My love for you is ever-growing. It reveals itself as you allow me to work. Replace what you don’t see with my assurance. My words will come to pass. They never fail. There is nothing I have shown you that I will not perform. Let the water of my living word refresh you.

Out of the Water

-
Later, when the boy was older, his mother brought him back to Pharaoh’s daughter, who adopted him as her own son. The princess named him Moses, for she explained, “I lifted him out of the water.” Exodus 2:10 (NLT) I have known you before your birth and blessed you with my name. I have drawn you up, out of the waters and into my presence. Walk with me. Lean into me so I can steady your way. I have places yet for you to be going; lives yet for you to reach.
