Biblical Narrative/Story

Just like David in our lives, we face “Goliaths” too. The Goliaths we face can be any
number of trials, challenges, and temptations. The Lord Will Be with You
When everyone told David he couldn’t fight Goliath, David replied that he had already
fought a lion and a bear to save his father’s sheep. David confidently declared, “The
Lord that delivered me out of the paw of the lion, and out of the paw of the bear, he will
deliver me out of the hand of this Philistine” David knew that the Lord would be with him.
With the Lord, we too can face our Goliaths with confidence. At times all of us must
stand against those who mock and revile. Some of us, sometimes, will face some
earthly power as mighty as Goliath. When that happens, we should emulate the
courage of David, who was mighty because he had faith and he went forth in a
righteous cause in the name of the Lord of Hosts. “When I face the challenges in my life
it is easy to succumb to the pressure and want to give in, but you don't have to. Let your
faith be bigger than your fear, and you can overcome any obstacle. Many times, people
choose to roll over in their struggles because it is hard to fight. Change can be scary,
and people's fear can get the best of them. There is no happiness except in the
realization that we have accomplished something. With God's help, I can win this life
and achieve a victory I can be proud of. I will put my trust in God and have faith that I
can accomplish anything through Him. I will focus on my goals to provide myself as well
as my family. Whenever I am in a difficult situation where there seems to be no way out,
I think about all the times I have been in such situations and say to myself, "I did it
before, so I can do it again. “With God’s help, you can stand your ground with faith and
be triumphant.
