Have you ever felt sometimes that with what you are doing, you can't make it? Many of us could sometimes feel that we are weak, and that is certainly true. However, when we put God first in our lives, He will bless us and He will be with us in all walks of life.
I remember of a Biblical story, a boy named David who was wondering why the Israelite soldiers were scared to go forward into battle against their enemy the Philistines. Just because the enemy had a strong contender in the person of a giant called Goliath, they got scared.
When David heard of the challenge that Goliath wants to fight with the strongest soldier of Israel, he simply volunteered. Since he was just a young boy, David's brothers who were also with the Israelite army, told him "No" as he was too small for the giant. Yet David had strong faith in God that God will be with him. God had given him the strenght to kill a lion while watching over his father's flock, why not against this giant?
With a sling and five pieces of stones as his weapons, surely David would be no match to the big sword, long spear, and huge armor of this giant called Goliath. Not only that, this giant was a trained warrior in the Philistine army. As a result, King Saul of Israel offered his own weapons and armor for the boy David to use. But David was uncomfortable with it but instead put all his faith in God. A faith that God will be with him during the battle.
Finally, as the two contenders met, the giant simply laughed at the sight and the thought that Israel could only send him a boy to fight! But with a single stone that hit the giant Goliath's forehead, the boy David triumph under God's blessings.
Yes, many times we face many Goliaths in our lives today. It seems that the challenges we face are just so insurmountable that we feel incapable of doing anything. But remember, with God, nothing is impossible. When God is with you, your smallness or feeling of powerless is not an issue. You will be more powered when God is with you.
In fact, as written in the Holy Bible, Jesus said, "Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you." Nothing is more important in this world than to put God first in our lives and to follow what He wants us to do. Whether it be in our personal priorities, in school, in the community, in business, or in any circumstances we are in, seek God's blessings, guidance and power. Whatever He gives you will be more than sufficient to help you in your situation.
