That roused the Philistine, and he started toward David. David took off from the front line, running toward the Philistine. David reached into his pocket for a stone, slung it, and hit the Philistine hard in the forehead, embedding the stone deeply. The Philistine crashed, facedown in the dirt. That’s how David beat the Philistine—with a sling and a stone. He hit him and killed him. No sword for David! Then David ran up to the Philistine and stood over him, pulled the giant’s sword from its sheath, and finished the job by cutting off his head. When the Philistines saw that their great champion was dead, they scattered, running for their lives. The men of Israel and Judah were up on their feet, shouting! They chased the Philistines all the way to the outskirts of Gath and the gates of Ekron. Wounded Philistines were strewn along the Shaaraim road all the way to Gath and Ekron. After chasing the Philistines, the Israelites came back and looted their camp. David took the Philistine’s head and brought it to Jerusalem. But the giant’s weapons he placed in his own tent. * * *

Most problems have solutions. Some solutions harder than others. Unfortunately we most often prefer to stand on our own shaky feet rather than lean on God's infinite understanding. Biblical solutions are simple to follow yet strong in impact. As we go through this bible plan we hope to learn to give in selflessly and gracefully in order to find long term solutions to our problems.
In this 3-day reading plan by Rev. Samuel Rodriguez, you will learn to push aside doubt, anxiety, and worry and to continue praising God even in the midst of uncomfortable circumstances.
Fear is an insidious thief that steals our moments of joy, happiness, fulfillment and blessing. It manifests itself in different forms: fear of failure, criticism, judgment, rejection, etc. This emotion, used by the enemy, often paralyzes our destiny. In this plan, we'll look at how to overcome fear and enter our destiny.
