How to slay your giants

Image
We've all heard of the metaphorical "giants" in our lives - we are to name them, overcome them - such as fear, worry, doubt, anxiety, and so on. Giants are big!  That is a fact.  There are situations, people, and such in our lives that are  big.  Huge, even! If we don't know how to defeat or face our giants, we will feel overwhelmed, or scared, or try to avoid them at all cost. David did none of these.  Was David afraid when he saw Goliath?  He sure didn't act it!  But how could David, this small, shepherd boy, be so fearless when facing a 9' monster? Not only did David face Goliath, he ran straight at him!  He was the only one that was willing to take on the Philistine.   I don't think David was an overthinker!  I think he simply knew the Lord and His omnipotence.  He was zealous for God and didn't like anyone - not even a beast like Goliath - taunting God's people as if he were greater than God Alnighty! David acted.  He did something about it.
