    david and goliath

    By any earthy standard, the outcome of this battle would be "sure thing." However, when God enters the picture the entire outcome becomes quite different because of faith.

    Living victoriously has much in common with David’s victory over Goliath. The shepherd didn’t act in faith that hadn’t already been tested; he acted according to his consistent experience with God.

    When I was young, I was a huge fan of the Walt Disney version of Zorro. I loved the idea of a person who would dress up in a costume, ride a beautiful horse, and cross swords triumphantly with the forces of injustice and oppression—though I would have defined those forces merely as “the bad guys” ...read more

    May I remind all of us that we take life head on by faith before anything else - even when life looks seemingly unsteady, surely unpredictable, seriously unbearable and securely unbeatable!

    Let me ask, how many of us would love to ask God – “God give me just a glimpse of the battles I will face this year or for the rest of my life?” Psalm 39:4 “Show me, O Lord, my life’s end.” How many of have said at one time, “God, just let me get everything in order with my life and then I’ll ...read more
