“Looking Back"

Sometimes we have to look back to go forward. Have you heard of the story of David and Goliath in the Old Testament? It’s a powerful and entertaining story that I grew up hearing. Little children love learning about young David defeating the huge giant named Goliath.

When David spoke up and said he’d fight Goliath, everyone laughed, including his own brothers. But David was a young man full of faith, and he knew something they didn’t know. He knew God’s faithfulness and power. Never forget we serve an awesome God, and that our enemy trembles in His presence.

In the famous story, young David referred back to the times that he had killed lions and bears while taking care of his father’s sheep and goats. And he declared that the same God who rescued him from the claws of the lion and the bear would rescue him from the giant.

You see, David had to look back, and that propelled him to boldly move forward. What treasured memory of God do you possess within you? How many times has He rescued you?

How many times has He come through for you? How many times has He comforted and strengthened you? Look back and then move forward with confidence. When Davids rise, giants fall.
