1 Corinthians 1:27 But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong.

God does not choose the people like Goliath to show true power; that is what man chooses!

We look up to the tall and strong in stature whereas God looks up to the tall and strong in spirit.

We need to listen to what God wants, listen to whom He chooses and trust in what He does – that way we will be on the winning side every time!

1 Samuel 17:49 Reaching into his bag and taking out a stone, he slung it and struck the Philistine on the forehead. The stone sank into his forehead, and he fell facedown on the ground.

When we listen to God, He is going to show us how we too can go down into the stream, pick up a few pebbles, and use them to slay our ‘Goliaths’!

God wants us to show we can do anything when we rely on Him for protection – David discarded Saul’s armour and still went forward because he knew he could rely on God!

When we show faith in our God, He shows mercy and strength through us to the rest of the world.

With God, we can do anything!

1 Samuel 17:8 Goliath stood and shouted to the ranks of Israel, “Why do you come out and line up for battle? Am I not a Philistine, and are you not the servants of Saul? Choose a man and have him come down to me.

Can you imagine what it would have been like during this stand-off between the Israelites and the Philistines?

Each day Goliath would come out and shout about how good he was and how nobody was brave enough to fight against him! I’m sure he would had to prove it in the beginning – but now the Israelites were just too scared!

In our lives we have many ‘Goliaths’ which come up and show their heads; we too see them as insurmountable things in our lives…

… but are they?
