Ready for Goliath

Do you want to succeed at conquering the Goliaths in your life?

Are you successfully avoiding the lions and bears you must conquer so that they prepare you to meet Goliath and prevail?

I have told you these things so that in Me you may have peace. You will have suffering in this world. Be courageous! I have conquered the world.”
(John 16:33 HCSB ©®)

This is how we know that we love God’s children when we love God and obey His commands. For this is what love for God is: to keep His commands. Now His commands are not a burden, because whatever has been born of God conquers the world. This is the victory that has conquered the world: our faith. And who is the one who conquers the world but the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?

The victor: I will give him the right to sit with Me on My throne, just as I also won the victory and sat down with My Father on His throne.

David said to Saul, “Don’t let anyone be discouraged by him; your servant will go and fight this Philistine!”
But Saul replied, “You can’t go fight this Philistine. You’re just a youth, and he’s been a warrior since he was young.”
David answered Saul, “Your servant has been tending his father’s sheep. Whenever a lion or a bear came and carried off a lamb from the flock, I went after it, struck it down, and rescued the lamb from its mouth. If it reared up against me, I would grab it by its fur, strike it down, and kill it. Your servant has killed lions and bears; this uncircumcised Philistine will be like one of them, for he has defied the armies of the living God.” Then David said, “The Lord who rescued me from the paw of the lion and the paw of the bear will rescue me from the hand of this Philistine.”
