A Model for Slaying Giants
God’s agenda for people and for this world has always been opposed. But God has never been threatened. Instead, God uses what seem to us to be gigantic problems as the means of changing our lives and forming Christ in us.

Challenging the Lie
The last few weeks we have been looking at Gods dealing with Israel and how it is similar to His dealings with us. It is not easy facing giants to take our rightful land and destiny, but God has assured us He will never leave us nor forsake us. The battle is His, we only have to step out and face the lie in faith, trusting our Father is as near as our voice. The exciting difference between Israel and us, is that we in Christ can come boldly before the throne of grace and get another chance to face the lies in our lives where we have failed before. And there is no condemnation for those of us in Christ Jesus. There comes a time in our walk with God where we will no longer seek to escape from the giants, that in spite of the lies, we will see them as another oppotunity to trust and be assured of God’s faithfulness to us as His sons and daughters.

2 Samuel 21:15-22 - Courage for Insurmountable Enemies
In the last half 2 Samuel 21 we find david gaining victory over 4 giant enemies. There is debate on whether the word "giant" is to be taken in its regualr sense as a big person, or as a god, but the evidence of the context would favor the first viewpoint. Another issue here is the identification of Goliath. Some see a corruption of the original text, but it is better to see this as a copies error which 1 Chronicles 20:5 correst and itentifies the giant as the "brother of Goliath." During battles David has grown weary and is not as stong physically as he use to be. His loyal leaders come to his aid and fight for him defeating all 4 giants. What we learn is that no what the physical ability of a man, he better not trash talk God people, because he will be silenced. We see the benefits of realistic humility, steadfast perseverance, proper praise, and developed character. The purpose of the passage is to elicit in you courage against insurmountable enemies as you live a persistent godly life that sustains you in the direction of God and his will.
