Read 1 Samuel 17:32-37.
David knew that the task of defeating Goliath was big, but he also knew from experience that God was bigger. The Israelites forgot who God was: The God who had brought them into the promised land and provided for them. They had seen God fight for them in many previous battles, but they neglected to trust him in this one. David’s focus was not on the size of the enemy, but on God.
In trusting God, our vision may need to be enlarged. God’s size doesn’t change but our perception of him does. As we draw nearer, he seems larger. Isn’t that what we need? A big view of God? Don’t we have big problems, big worries, big questions? Of course we do. So we need a big view of God. What battle are you facing today? Even if it’s bigger than you can handle, it’s not bigger than God can handle. Trust Him.
Personal Worship Option:
Reflect on your journey with God. Praise Him for the victories. Draw near to him and embrace His majesty. Trust Him with today’s troubles and look for the action He wants you to take.
