We love the
story of David, the teenage giant killer.
Man!
It revs up my
courage just reading about this thriller!
This little
fella who ‘stood taller’ than Goliath,
Taller still as
he ‘trophied’ the head of this mammoth!
Here’s a secret
about this fella, I’ll tell you upfront,
One you need to
use to slay the giants that you confront.
You see,
Before David
could slay giants, externally,
He first had to
feed ‘his giant’, internally.
He spent
countless mornings and nights learning to recognize,
Then learning
to feed the giant he was, deep down inside.
He discovered
the ‘right stuff’ on which this giant would thrive,
Then he fed and
fed, ‘till all other giants were …downsized!
Ummm…
What is this
inside giant, and on what does he feed?
This you need
to know; it’s exactly what you need.
There’s no
way your outside giants can be defeated,
If your inside
giant’s resources are depleted!
Your inside
giant is your unlimited essence,*
The real you
that you are, created in semblance
Of Him ‘Who is Who He is’, The LORD God
Almighty
The Judge of ALL
spirits, Creator of ALL is He.
He created all
living things on fruits and plants to feed.
Then sin changed
all of this, and now on each other we feast!
He fashioned
our spirit to thrive on Light that’s in Him,
Then sin
changed this, too, now we feed on things dark and dim.
This, David
corrected, and changed his spirit’s diet.**
His
relationship with God, he fed without limit.
With prayer, praise, and prostration,
his giant began to stir,
It grew until,
to him, it was the biggest giant on earth!
Lion, bear, DEAD!
Now, Goliath’s importunity
On God’s great
stage was just one more opportunity
To show this
deviant and all those he was fleecing,
And show the
world, too, on Whom David had been feeding!
Like all our world,
Are you still
waiting for someone to come and slay
All those
giants that are fleecing your world today?
If so, let’s
just keep
on feeding on Him Whom David fed.
Then,
Let’s see
through whom our God will ‘trophy’...
all their evil heads!
