Part I of IV (1 Samuel 13-II Samuel 2): King David in the Bible was anointed to be king as a child, but on his way to his appointed position at 30, he had to kill a giant by the name of Goliath as a teen. This suggests that no matter our age, we all face giants in our lives that serve to block our progress and hinder our journey. So do you know your giant by name? Is it fear? Unbelief? Unforgiveness? Lack of discipline? Negative thinking? Immorality? Stubbornness? Materialism? A judgmental disposition? A "keeping-up-with the Joneses" spirit? We must first name our giants in order to defeat them through Christ, and in turn, claim all that God has for us.
Scripture meditation: Happy are those who reject the advice of evil people, who do not follow the example of sinners or join those who have no use for God. Instead, they find joy in obeying the Law of the Lord, and they study it day and night. (Good News Translation) Psalm 1:1-2
