GIANT-VIEW *********

I SAMUEL 17 : 1 - 11.

The Philistines gathered their armies together

to battle against Saul and the men of Israel;

Battles were not new to Saul or the men of Israel.

They were ready to fight;

But, suddenly the confidence and courage became

doubt and despair!

The reason?

The Giant Goliath!

This one giant was sufficient enough to mock the

entire army of Israel;The size and the challenge!

Even though men of…

God also call us to suffer if need be in carrying out the Great Commission .

Dearly Beloved,

IN-LAWS: BLESSING OR CURSE?

'' For you see your calling , brethren , that not many wise according to the flesh , not many mighty , not many noble , are called . But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to put to shame the wise , and God has chosen the weak things of the world to put to shame the things which are mighty,,, that no flesh should glory in His presence ( 1 Cor, 1 : 26-27 , 29 ) .

We need to let his words, His presence, and His everlasting promises find  their place back in our life, our heart, our calling, and our place of service when we are  down . Let them be our joy, our peace, and  confidence. They are our legacy, our heritage, and our sacred trust in Him our Lord Jesus Christ .God bless you all my sisters and brothers. And in Jesus name I pray Amen.
