When a giant calls on your very life and those who you love:

Which Voice Will You Choose To Listen To?

1 Samuel 16 2 … the Israelites assembled … and drew up their battle line to meet the Philistines. 

4 A champion named Goliath … came out of the Philistine camp …  

10 … “I defy the ranks of Israel! Give me a man and let us fight each other.”

11 … all the Israelites were dismayed and terrified.

32 David said to Saul, “Let no one lose heart on account of this … (I) will fight him.”

40 he … chose five smooth stones from the stream, put them in the pouch of his shepherd’s bag and, with his sling in his hand …

45 David said to (him):  “You come against me with sword and spear and javelin, but I come against you in the name of the Lord Almighty, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied.

51 … After he killed him, he cut off his head with the sword.

As it was with David, as it was with the Israelites, as it is with all who come to follow God … so it is with you:  There Will Always Be A Battle Over Your Destiny

You will always be challenged by an enemy who hates everything about who you are.

After all, you were created in the image of the most amazing God.  And as long as you belong to Him, you will be the target of enemy attack.

There is a theory that David got 5 stones because he had heard that Goliath had four brothers– and I like to think that that is true.  Because rather than cowering in fear, he simply walked forward in the very calling that God had for him.

As Goliath stood and called out the people who loved God, and even God Himself, he set himself up for a defeat of colossal magnitude.

God doesn’t mess around with those who mess with His.  Because those who mess with His are on a path to have their head separated from their torso.

So listen to His voice.

Listen to that voice that you know to be true.

Listen to the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the One who was before there was, the Alpha and the Omega, the One who said it is “paid in full”.

That voice will never let you down.

In The Name of the Father and the 

Son and the Holy Spirit.  Amen.
