You have Almighty God on your side.
David was a teenager when he faced down Goliath. When Goliath saw how small David was, he began to laugh. He said, “Am I dog that you come at me with a stick?” He was saying, “Is that the best you’ve got?”
David looked at Goliath and said, in effect, “I may be small, but I’m stronger than I look. I may be young, but I’m more experienced than I look. I may be skinny, but I’m more powerful than I look.”
David took his slingshot and, with one stone, brought down Goliath.
You may have some Goliaths telling you what you can’t so:
- “You’re not strong enough to break that addiction.”
- “You can’t beat that sickness.”
- “You’ll never accomplish that dream.”
- “You’re not big enough!”
You have to do like David, and tell Goliath, “I may look small, but I’m stronger than you think. You haven’t seen the best of me. You look at me and you think I’m just a small David or a weak Gideon. But you’re looking at a Mighty Hero.”
I don’t know who needs to hear this today, but hear me when I say this … That problem is not going to defeat you. That trouble is not going to define you. That loss is not how your story ends. You are going to discover things in you that you didn’t know you had.
I believe even now strength is rising up in you. Dreams are coming back to life. You’re about to see God do things that you couldn’t do, turn situations around that looked permanent, and open doors that person can shut.
