1 Samuel 17:46 Then David said...This day the Lord will deliver you into my hand, and I will strike you and take your head from you....
Although we all go through valleys God wants us to know none of those experiences are wasted and He can turn our valley of sickness or defeat, our valley of failure or despair into a valley of victory and blessing.
When the soldiers faced Goliath they 'thought' it was certain defeat because all they could see was the size of the giant and how he made them feel because they 'thought' they could never overcome him and they said so.
But David thought like God and instead he saw himself with the victory, he saw his enemy beneath his feet even before he ran at Goliath. What he thought, he believed and he spoke it. What he spoke, he saw come to pass.
What giants do we see every day looming up in front of us, upsetting us? We may see the valley we're in as defeat and despair, but God wants us to see success and victory because we know Jesus has already won the battle.
Can I encourage us to think like David and believe God's promises that He will do everything He promised and speak them out over our lives.
David spoke to his giant and whatever our giants are, whether sickness, lack, fear, whatever, we can speak to our giants too because God has made us overcomers.
"Jesus has given me the victory over you giant of ............. and you're coming down in Jesus' name. I may not feel well right now but God is restoring health to me, His life giving promises are coursing through my veins bringing healing. There may be big bills coming but God will provide all I need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. Fear - I tell you to bow the knee to Jesus, you're under my feet and I believe God is turning this valley of what may look like defeat, into my valley of blessing and victory, in Jesus' Name."
