Weapons of Mass Destruction

Lol – David was something else. Almost everyone knows the story of David, but this morning I got deeper insight. Small in stature, with little experience in military battles, this shepherd boy found his way in the thickness of battle, clad in no protective gear, clinging onto a measly sling shot, going up against the enemy’s champion- Goliath; his opposite in every way. Couldn’t someone have said; “boy, sit your tail down, know your size”?

They did, David just didn’t listen. See, David’s approach to his enemy wasn’t with man-made fighting tools. This Godly warrior had three weapons of mass destruction. Massive indeed, because when unleashed, the powerful army of the Philistines was obliterated. His weapons caused one army fight, and the next to take flight.

Today, it dawned on me that sometimes, our enemies will say things that will not only hurt, but persuade you to think little of who and whose you are. Goliath used words that caused the Israelites to become depressed, and thought they had no chance. Hey – Sometimes your problem might seem too gigantic for you to even attempt to fix…. And - sometimes you may even have people in your circle, who discourage you, like David’s brothers tried to do. Guess what, sometimes you chose to exit stage-left, thinking the situation had nothing to do with you, it’s just “not my battle to fight”- pfff- yea, right. But when you have weapons of mass destruction, no enemy, no battlefield, NO-ONE can stand in your way. It was for that reason David called his enemy an “uncircumcised Philistine” – a nobody.

David’s weapons of Mass Destruction were COURAGE 💣, FORTITUDE 💣, and FAITH 💣. So the next time you see your battles, situations, and enemies in front of you, unleash your weapons of Mass Destruction and watch your situation or your enemy become “a nobody”.

“KA-BOOM”
