David And Goliath

c. David teaches a simple, but powerful concept: Focus on giants—you go down. Focus on God—your giants go down.

d. Read Isaiah 51:15-16 But I am the LORD thy God, that divided the sea, whose waves roared: The LORD of hosts is his name. And I have put my words in thy mouth, and I have covered thee in the shadow of mine hand, that I may plant the heavens, and lay the foundations of the earth, and say unto Zion, Thou art my people.

1. The people and things we fear are only men or man-made and He is God, the all-powerful creator.

2. We will be freed to return to our “promised land” because God is our God. He is intimate with us and protects us with His hand because we belong to him in a unique relationship as His people.

IV. SUMMARY

a. Goliath can be found in many locations: lurking on the internet, hiding in a bottle, sitting in the cubicle next to yours, sleeping in the bed next to you.

b. You can conquer your Goliath, and you don’t need five stones.

c. You only need one stone, and that stone has a name—Jesus.

d. He is there to lift you up, to support you, to carry you over the quicksand, to carry you through the rushing and raging waters.
