Conquering the Giants in Your Future

Conquering the Giants in Your Future

Facing Tomorrow’s Challenges with Faith in God

Every believer will face “giants” in life—obstacles that seem intimidating, overwhelming, and
beyond human strength. These giants may take the form of fear, uncertainty, opposition, loss, or
personal weakness. Scripture reminds us, however, that giants are not signs of God’s absence but
opportunities for His power to be revealed. Giants are inevitable—but not invincible. God has a
plan and a purpose for your life. Encountering giants seems to be part of life. If our successes
were based on the size of the problem, the giants would always win. The giants reveal where our
faith lies. The outcome is never based on our ability to understand, but rather on our faith in God.
Every battle requires preparation. Fortunately, God goes before us and never considers the size
of the problem. Our faith in him is evident, as in the story of David and Goliath. God prepares us
before the battle. However, we must remember to give glory where it is due. Victory is for God’s
glory, not our praise.
Giants will appear in your future, but they do not determine the outcome—God does. The same
Lord who parted the Red Sea, brought down Jericho’s walls, and empowered David still reigns
today.
“If God is for us, who can be against us?” (Romans 8:31)
Do not fear the giants ahead. Face them with faith grounded in God’s promises, empowered by
His presence, and confident that the battle belongs to the Lord. Blessings, my friends. I hope to
see you on Sunday.
