Lately I've been trying to get everything in my life on track. It hasn't been the easiest thing but it's been the best thing I've done in a long time. I've had to make sacrifices, change some things, loose some people, and put some things on hold for now. To be honest, I felt like David in the story of David and Goliath (1 Samuel 17). What were the Goliath moments in my life? Finances, Jealousy, Heartache, Loneliness, Anger, and Hurt. With all this stacked up against me I felt like David facing a huge giant. The only difference, David ran toward the GIANT (vs 48: "As the Philistine moved closer to attack him, David ran quickly toward the battle line to meet him.") while I was running away from my GIANTS. I thought it would be so much easier to run in the other direction than to face these difficult moments in my life. I thought it would be better to be by myself, lock myself away and simply be depressed. But I quickly found out that I could not run that far... I had to face the GIANT. I had to take care of these things that controlled my life. And now I am doing so. I'm not going to lie and and say it's been a breeze because it has not. My finances caused me to move back home, my anger and jealousy caused me to loose someone, i've had to let go of a few things, and come to the realization that I WAS NOT IN CONTROL. God is control. I started praying a prayer that many of you know "The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not be in want". And as I began to pray this prayer some things started to change in me. I no longer look on this situation as ALL bad but as a learning experience. I understand that I can not do everything on my own... I need Jesus! And here's the best part of the story... Are you READY???
DAVID WINS! DAVID KILLS THE GIANT! David told the giant before he killed him "You come against me with a sword and spear, but i come against you in the name of the Lord Almighty".
So i face my issues knowing that The Lord Almighty is on my side. I know and have faith that things will work out with my finances, relationships will be restored (in God's time, not mine) and God will continue to show me His Greatness each every day!
