Giants Fall

🎶Everyone's telling you
To let go of what you're holding to
It's too late, too far
You're too small, it's too hard
Throwing water on that spark
Living deep inside your heart
With oceans of reasons
The things you're not seeing
But oh, maybe they don't
Know what you know
That you're not alone

Don't you be afraid
Of giants in your way
With God you know that anything's possible
So step into the fight
He's right there by your side
The stones inside your hand might be too small
But watch the giants fall

We could really live like this

Can't you imagine it
So bold, so brave
With childlike faith
Miracles could happen
Mountains would start moving
So whatever you may face

Don't you be afraid
Of giants in your way
With God you know that anything's possible
So step into the fight
He's right there by your side
The stones inside your hand might be too small
But watch the giants fall

Ask and believe
You're gonna see
The hand of God in every little thing🎶

The line..."the stones inside your hand might be too small" struck me the other day.

We all battle some thing...sometimes daily..but we face some pretty big "giants" through out our life...and they are different for each one of us.

We talk about spiritual armor....salvation, faith,  righteousness, the Spirit, the Word of God, readiness.

But once we have all that with IN us....sometimes we feel like we are doing battle stripped almost bare, 

and we feel we have nothing but pebbles in our arsenal. 

40 Then he took his staff in his hand, chose five smooth stones from the stream, put them in the pouch of his shepherd’s bag and, with his sling in his hand, approached the Philistine.

So I reread the biblical account of David and Goliath. (Click on the link below to read it yourself)

📖 The whole story of David and Goliath  from 1 Samuel 17

I believe there are many lessons from the story of David.

With faith in Christ we can face anything with what we have.

50 So David triumphed over the Philistine with a sling and a stone; without a sword in his hand he struck down the Philistine and killed him

a be triumphant!

We need to take a step forward in that faith, but David didn't just step...he ran toward his giant!

48 As the Philistine moved closer to attack him, David ran quickly toward the battle line to meet him

God gives us all we need in our arsenal...gives us the victory, and it is ok to be vocal about that!

45 David said to the Philistine, “You come against me with sword and spear and javelin, but I come against you in the name of the Lord Almighty, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied. 

Our stones may seem small, along with our faith, but it isn't the size of either that matters.

 📖 He replied, “Because you have so little faith. Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.”  Matthew 17:20

With God moving mountains, making "giants" fall is what He does.

📖 Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.” Matthew 19:26

We just need to have faith, take what God has given us and run toward Him....and trust He is in "every little thing"

📖 one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all. Ephesians 4:6
