Week 1: Giants Will Fall: God's Promise Through David
God's Promise: "The battle is the Lord's." (1 Samuel 17:47 NIV)
My Promise: I will battle in the name of Lord Almighty
Who is your Goliath? What giant seeks to punch the life out of you? Does he come in the form of a disease? Is he wearing the garb of debt? Or does he battle on the inside through daily discouragement? No one has to tell you that giants roam this world. Or that life is a battle. But maybe someone needs to remind you - the battle is the Lord's. The Israelites faced a real life Goliath. Every morning for forty days he came out to taunt their army. Every evening he returned to shout his challenges and demoralize their courage. David arrived to visit his brothers who were at the battle line. He was too young to be a soldier, but he was not too young to have an unwavering faith in the power of the living God. David spoke with hope and confidence. He stood up with assurance in the power of God. He approached the battle line knowing the battle was no his alone. And he ran toward his Giant.
Unshakable Hope Declaration
We are building our lives on the promises of God. Because his Word is unbreakable, our hope is unshakable. We do not stand on the problems of life or the pain in life. We stand on the great and precious promises of God.
About this Plan
When life shifts toward struggles or pain or disappointment, where do you turn? When uncertainty invades or sorrow seeps in, where do you look for answers? Here’s a suggestion: turn to one of over 7,000 biblical reminders of God’s care, concern, and guardianship. God, both promise-maker and promise-keeper, “has given us his very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature” (2 Peter 1:4 NIV). Through this reading plan, we’ll become well acquainted with many of these promises and learn to rely on them in every turn of life. Unshakable Hope-Courage is the second installment of a three part series. Part 1 is titled Unshakable Hope-Strength.
