In getting to the top, to your expected end, where God wants  you, there will be giants on the way to deny you. Just in case you are facing a massive giant on your way, consult with David. He was anointed by God through Samuel but still has to travel through a passage before getting through to GodÕs plan for his life. In DavidÕs confrontation with the giant, nothing or anyone was in place to work for him in bringing down the giant except the testimony of what God has done in his life. When King Saul voiced discouragement he responded with testimony of what God did for him. 1Samuel 17:34, ÒBut David said to Saul, ÔYour servant used to keep his fatherÕs sheep, and when a lion or a bear came and took a lamb out of the flock, I went out after it and delivered the lamb from its mouth; and when it arose against me , I caught it by its beard, and struck and killed it.Ó He also stated in v.37, ÒMoreover David said, ÔThe LORD who delivered me from the paw of the lion and bear, He will deliver me from the hand of this Philistine. And Saul said to David, ÔGo, and the LORD be with you!ÕÓ David also held on to the name of God when he came face to face with the giant. 1Samuel 17:45, ÒThen David said to the Philistines, ÔYou come to me with a sword, with a spear, and with a javelin but I come to you in the name of the LORD of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defiled.Ó The giant, Mr. Goliath fell for David because of DavidÕs testimony and because David could not keep quiet calling on the name of his God. Have you approached your Goliath yet? Remember what God has done for you and do not stop calling His name. David got to his divine schedule, you will get there.
