When David came against Goliath, he did not stand for hours looking at the giant wondering how to win the battle. The Bible says that he quickly ran to the battle line, all the time talking about the greatness of God and declaring his victory ahead of time. David did not run away from his giant; he courageously ran toward him.
If David had run from Goliath, he would never have been king of Israel. He faced his giants and proved that he had the tenacity to endure difficulty without quitting.
David lived a fearless faith. This doesn't mean that he didn't wrestle with fear. In David's writings he never claimed to be free from the feelings of fear. He talked about being afraid, but he chose to be confident!
Having a fearless faith simply means that we no longer allow fear to intimidate us. Rather, we counteract it by admitting it to God, asking others to pray for us, filling our mind with the truth of God's Word, and then moving forward....doing it afraid.
Preparing for battle begins on our knees.
Faithfully His,
Dalinda
