Psalms 56:10-12
Now I know that God is with me. In God, in whose promise I glory, in God I trust without fear; what can flesh do against me?
------------------------------------------------
Today’s first reading takes into account the day when David slain Goliath. We all know the story… we all know what happened… we all know how David did it…
…but we do not know how to apply it to our lives.
I felt afraid, angry or upset when what I call big problems or challenges comes. In effect, my attitude clouds my mind and eventually forgot the only path towards a resolution.
That I only need to seek God.
It is not the sling or the stone that killed Goliath, but rather David’s trust and love for the Lord. His whole self has become an instrument of God to finally conquer the Philistines and bring peace to Israel.
When everyone was afraid, David stood tall!
As we face the Goliaths in our life, spend a quiet time talking to God, alone. Allow him to fill your heart with the Holy Spirit so you may see the problem as not so overwhelming. Allow Him to give you the courage and strength to overcome any problems.
When was the last time you faced squarely – head-on – the Goliath in your life. Let your love of God conquer anything and everything… even problems that seem 10 feet tall.
Let us pray +
Almighty Father, what it is that You want me to learn? Let me live my life according to Your overall instructions, constantly reminding myself that You alone can provide us the real love that we so desperately search for. Give us the courage, strength and clarity of mind in facing the goliaths of our lives, that we may conquer them in Your name. Amen +
In God I trust; I shall not fear.
