Bring Down That Giant

Little Thoughts For Big Days
Little Thoughts For Big Days

Oh those giants are huge aren’t they?  Those things that haunt us and taunt us, hunting us down ruthlessly! The enemies appear out of nowhere and just hang out in our houses like skeletons in the closet, our backyards and anywhere we go.  They hang over our heads and over our days like tons of heavy weight pressing in from every angle; around and beside, before and behind.  We try to escape them by running but they head us off at the pass, distract us at the crossroads, sideswipe us, and beat us to our destination!!!   How did they do that??  Simply because they are us and they lurk in our weaknesses and in our unforgiving spirit.  They’re powerful in our strongholds, and because the enemy is within and hangs about in our attitude and our thoughts, running isn’t the answer because every problem tags along.

So then, what is? How do we defeat the dreadful giants in our life? How do we come against them? David had five smooth stones, It only took one smooth stone of faith in His one true God to bring down the giant that stood before him. I wonder if he felt a pang of nervousness or doubt ~ just before battle? Most likely he did and most likely you will too if you decide to tackle that stronghold that lives with you and plagues you relentlessly day and night or creeps in on occasion to rile you and bring you down in defeat! But you can do it, if you go before it in the Name of the one True God and a smooth stone of faith! The battle isn’t yours but Gods. He’s got your back and your best interest at heart! He’s won! He’s the winner! He’s the champion of champions and the victor over death. With Him on your side and your smooth stone of faith in Him…how can you lose?

1 Samuel 17:45
“David said to the Philistine, “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.”

1 Samuel 17:47
All those gathered here will know that it is not by sword or spear that the LORD saves; for the battle is the LORD’s, and He will give all of you into our hands.”

Covered By Grace

Little Thoughts For Big Days
Little Thoughts For Big Days


So you missed the mark? It’s ok! There’s God’s grace for that!

Ahh, that unconditional love that God gives is a blessing isn’t it? Aren’t you so thankful for it on the days when you feel you’ve missed the mark and it really doesn’t matter what others think anyway, it’s really about how God sees you! Even though you feel tossed, wrecked and blown about in the winds of chaotic guilt storms ~ God sees you beautiful and lovely. Ahh, yes He does! He overlooks the mark we missed and covers us with ~ that precious mercy and sweet grace of forgiveness again! Why are we so reluctant to accept it? It’s always there to meet us and cover us even in our most down of down moments. It’s always there for the worries that took over, the doubts that crept in, the fear filled moments where faith didn’t surface ~ no ~ not even for a second, and where temptation was stronger than our self-discipline.

There are so many crafty and subtle things the enemy uses to set us up, catching us in the trap of guilt ~ making us believe the lie that we’re not good enough for any good at all~ especially for any good things that God has to offer. Yet, that’s exactly what God had in mind for His created people with His plan of salvation wrapped in awesome, unconditional love. Christ, The cross, the shed blood, the grave, the resurrection and the victory over death. It’s what He came for and It’s yours! It’s mine! It’s ours for the asking and receiving of it. Look to the cross ~ it’s there for our salvation for this journey of “now” life and “Life Everlasting” and it’s there when we miss the marks along the way. Step into that peace!

John 3:16
“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever would believe on Him should not perish but have eternal life.”

1 Corinthians 1:18
“For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.”

Soul Ears

Little Thoughts For Big Days
Little Thoughts For Big Days

So when you can’t see past the fog and the smog in life, what do you do? Fog’s no fun and It’s maybe not a bad idea to sit and wait for it to lift but it might take a while. The foggy places are those places were steps of faith are necessary for our survival. They might be small at first ~ little baby steps until we get our grounding, but God’s hand reaches through the fog, ready to catch, carry and guide us through. When the fog is too thick and the confusion too chaotic and overwhelming, rest quietly, take His hand and let Him lead. You might need to sit quiet for a time in order to hear His word to you, but listen to the still small voice in your soul ~ not your heart, and not your head, it could lead you astray, but listen with your soul ears! That conscience deep within that God uses to direct us into the proper path! To lead us in the right way into divine wisdom. To keep us from evil, from temptation! From there faith will become stronger as we press in closer to God in the journey. Don’t move out into the fog until you hear with Soul ears!

“Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, “This is the way; walk in it.” Isaiah 30: 21

“He guides the humble in what is right and teaches them his way.” Psalm 25:9

“I will lead the blind by ways they have not known, along unfamiliar paths I will guide them; I will turn the darkness into light before them and make the rough places smooth. These are the things I will do; I will not forsake them.” Isaiah 42:16

Serendipitous

Little Thoughts For Big Days
Little Thoughts For Big Days

So we’re facing a new day!  What’s on your plate as you anticipate the moments? One thing we can be assured of is that God’s grace will be there in those moments, even before they reach us. Reflect on the awesomeness of it as they come and don’t miss the blessing that might be tucked under some difficulty. That’s where they hide you know ~ in the hard times! Those are the places where we meet miracles head on because miracles come out of the impossible and yet we sometimes fail to see them for what they are because we’re too focused on the trouble. Sometimes we take them out of context and just call them coincidence because we don’t think about God being there. Well, He’s there in your tough places and He makes things new. What glorious hope lies in that thought! In your next moment, expect a miracle with a grateful heart and you might be surprised at the little serendipitous that dot your day!

Isaiah 43:19
Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.
