The young boy squats at the creekside, searching for 5 good stones, he is a lucky young man. His focus is on 5 smooth stones, the stones which can sit in a sling and bring down Goliath, who challenges the word of God. ....
David is always facing Giants, and your are too. You are always facing Giants. And its not always that he did a good job...
if you focus on Giants, you will fall, but if You focus on God, you won't fail. See 1 Samuel 17. David mentions God 9 times, but only on Goliath twice. Are u mediating on God more than your mistakes or is it the other way round ?
The 5 decisions we make
1) The stone of the past: Remember the God led victories of the past, how God have brought down your enemies in the past.
2) The stone of prayer: Dont' face your Giants first without facing God.
3) The stone of priority: The priority of Life is the Name of God, and it could be that God is letting u face this Giant, to let Him show you his strength. Our priority is not our comfort, our priority is God's Glory
4) The stone of passion: Passion of life, have the passion that David have, how David fought the challenge with God's hand. When's e last time u ran toward your Giant? Typically we run away from our problems. But Don't ! Run toward your giant
5) Stone of persistence: We need to be ready to fight our problems repeatedly, again again and again.
And we know in time that Giant will go down. No Giant is too big, if God is YOUR God. Face YOUR God and your giants will fall. But focus on YOUR Giants, and you will.
