Fee, Fi, Fo Fum (Bonus)



Today is the bonus lesson of a five part series about increasing our faith by learning to face our Giants.

Acts 2:25-28 NASB

(25)  "For David says of Him, 'I SAW THE LORD ALWAYS IN MY PRESENCE; FOR HE IS AT MY RIGHT HAND, SO THAT I WILL NOT BE SHAKEN.
(26)  'THEREFORE MY HEART WAS GLAD AND MY TONGUE EXULTED; MOREOVER MY FLESH ALSO WILL LIVE IN HOPE;
(27)  BECAUSE YOU WILL NOT ABANDON MY SOUL TO HADES, NOR ALLOW YOUR HOLY ONE TO UNDERGO DECAY.
(28)  'YOU HAVE MADE KNOWN TO ME THE WAYS OF LIFE; YOU WILL MAKE ME FULL OF GLADNESS WITH YOUR PRESENCE.'

As you go back and review I Samuel Chapter 17, I ask you to notice these things:

David only made two comments about Goliath, one to Saul and one to Goliath.

He made 9 comments about God.

David’s thoughts about God where over four times more than his thoughts about Goliath.

Are you four times as likely to describe the strength of God then the demands of your day?

Think about the giants you have faced big and small.  Do as David and draw upon those past experiences to gain strength to face your giants today.  Remember, God delivered David from the lion and the bear.  Take an inventory of the tools you have acquired as a result of those battles.

It is one thing to have the tools but another to take them off the shelf and put them to use.  Ask God to help you see how those tools can be used in the future?
