A CHALLENGER FOR THE CHAMPION
TEXT:1 SAMUEL 17:31-36
MEMORY VERSE: "And David said to Saul, Let no man’s heart fail because of him; thy servant will go and fight with this Philistine" (1 SAMUEL 17:32).
Let's count how many hurdles youthful David jumped to defeat Goliath. The limitations of youth. The terrifying size and arrogant threats of Goliath. The collective cowardice of Israel's soldiers. The jealously and contempt of his older brother. The belittling words and veiled mockery of King Saul.
Through it all, the young challenger seemed to firmly affirm the Chinese proverb that, "Under heaven there is nothing impossible; all you need is a man with a heart". But David had more than a heart, he had an unshakable, high-quality faith. His faith did not come upon him suddenly, it grew out of a long and steady relationship with the Almighty God.
Poor Goliath! He had made the mistake that most fools make, judging the product by its wrapping. David was small in stature but he was big inside. To quote Sidney N. Bremer, "You will never become a giant if you only make a pygmy's claim for yourself".
Take up any challenge that presents itself on your path to success. Press forward with faith in God. Shut out the doubters. Refuse to back down. Your victory is certain.
QUOTE: Press forward with faith in God.
CHALLENGE: To become unstoppable, become unbreakable.
PRAYER: In Jesus' name, I say to every mountain, Move!
