Day Two – Written by Pastor Sonia Figueroa
Biblical Example: David (1 Samuel 16)
Prayer Focus: Your Obstacles (Giants)
Verse: 1 Samuel 16:7 “But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The Lord does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.”
While Samuel was looking for someone who “looked” the part to be King, God corrected Samuel in 1 Samuel 16:7. God does not judge by outward appearances; like man. He looks on the inside. Appearance, height, a title, money or even a position, does not reveal the true character, power, or potential of a person.
That idea is further proven when “little,” teenage-boy David faces “HUGE,” manly Goliath. On the outside, to the spectator; it looked as if the fight was rigged. It was almost humorous to watch. There was no way David could defeat a GIANT! At this point in history though, David had matured spiritually. As he stared at this “Giant,” he knew Goliath was a target too big to miss! David knew he was not alone and that God would fight WITH him.
Who (or what) giants are you facing? Viewing these troubles from God’s point of view helps you to put our “giant” problems into perspective. “If God is for you, who can be against you?” God is fighting for you and with you. So with Him; there is no Giant you cannot face, overcome, and conquer!
