"Who is this pagan Philistine anyway, that he is allowed to defy the armies of the living God?" 1 Samuel 17:26
David’s father, Jesse, sent him on an errand. He wanted David to take some food to his brothers who had gone to war. When he arrived at the camp of the Israelites, David heard the voice of a man, Goliath, who was nine feet, six inches tall standing in the Valley of Elah, taunting someone to come and fight him. No one was willing to fight him until David showed up.
What’s interesting is that Goliath was actually coming to them and taunting them. That is how giants are; they seem to taunt us, up close and personal to scare us even more.
You might be facing some kind of giant in your life, such as a giant problem, a giant challenge, or a giant addiction. And as the days go by, your giant seems to get bigger and bigger, taunting you relentlessly. You might be facing a giant of personal failure, a certain area of your life where you have fallen repeatedly. You can’t seem to get victory.
A giant is anyone or anything that seeks to control you, hurt you, destroy you, or torment you in life.
The good news is that God is bigger than your giant. The key to conquering your giant is to ensure you understand and see God as you ought to. Then you will see that God is bigger than what you’re facing.
