The self-assured, nine-foot-tall warrior told the scrawny shepherd boy challenging him that he would die that day. But the young boy boldly answered the giant: “This day will the Lord deliver thee into mine hand” (1 Samuel 17:46a). David was the victor in the confrontation because his confidence was in God, not his ability.
Being confident in what you do,
it’s easy to settle comfortably—to become lax, even negligent in relying on God.
And our Father will have none of that with His children. He wants you to
succeed in His plan for your life but may cripple you in an area where you’re
over-confident, not admitting, and giving credit to the Source of your success.
His intent is a turning of your heart and mind to Him (repentance). Sometimes God
allows uncomfortable or unfamiliar surroundings to confirm your trust in Him, and
your faith increases or wants you to refocus and rely on Him. Reliance on His
ability yields success over life’s Goliaths and other obstacles, no matter the size.
Thank the Lord for the blessing of His activity in your life.
