So thankful for all I can do...

Victory in the Battles of Life
Read | 1 Samuel 17:32-50
Have you ever failed at something simply because you did not
plan it all the way through? Sadly, this is all too common
among believers and non-believers alike.
If we want to achieve victory in our pursuits, we must be
willing to plan. It’s not always enough to see a matter
through to completion; we must also demonstrate the wisdom to
consider all steps leading up to the challenge and all
potential results that might follow. Then we’ll have a
complete view and will begin to see the matter from the
perspective of our heavenly Father.
When David confronted the Philistine warrior Goliath, he knew
that he was entering into much more than simply a wartime
dispute. He was keenly aware of the nature of the
conflict—that is, God’s reputation was at stake because all
the other nations would be watching to see what happened.
Failure at this important juncture would have shown the world
that Israel’s God was not all that powerful.
Not only did David understand the nature of the conflict; he
walked into battle knowing the outcome. He’d been called to
defeat Goliath and provide an unshakable testimony to the
Almighty’s power. And he was fully confident that God would
enable him to do just that.
If your pursuits keep falling short, ask yourself, Am I
looking at the whole issue, or have I lost perspective? If
your point of view is too limited, commit the matter to the
Lord and allow Him to show you what He is able to do through
your efforts.
