Don’t Stop Believing.
" David said to the Philistine, “You come against me with sword and spear and javelin, but I come against you in the name of the Lord Almighty, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied."
1 Samuel 17:45
Stanislas Wawrinka is crowned as the new Australian Open Tennis Champion. This is an amazing feat to accomplish beating 3 top 10 players in the world to win the title. If you haven't followed tennis the last few years, it has been dominated by a few players such as Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic, and Andy Murray. These four guys have been the "tennis giants" and have won the majority of the tennis titles the lay few years. After a while, you get a sense that these guys are invincible, unbeatable. You can see it in the attitudes of those they compete against. A small flicker of hope to win but helplessness in the air.
But there are a few that never gave up believing. Whether they had a little or a lot, they had faith. They kept working hard, improving their fitness and mental toughness, and simply never gave up. Stanislas was one of these guys. I respect him for believing he could win against these giants and not give up.
In life we also face giants that we feel and sense are invincible. There are areas of our life that we feel we cannot overcome or have victory over. Have you lost hope against these giants? David conquered Goliath with the strength and faith The Lord provided. Jesus reminds us, "In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world." The Lord has given us the power to overcome the giants in our life and reminds us that anything we face, he has already conquered for us.
What are the giants in your life?
Do you believe that The Lord desires to conquer these giants in your life?
