In today’s conversation, we’re going to pick up where we left off in our last episode in the middle of the famous story of David and Goliath. Last time we recognized the divine timing of our sovereign God, and we talked about the multiple points of opposition David faced in this story before he even reached the giant. Today we’ll discover the importance of seeing our lives through spiritual lenses if we do want to face our giants; and, just as in our last episode, we’ll find peace in the fact that our success doesn’t depend on our own ability, but on the power of God—that our stone only has power to take down the giant because it passes through the hand of God. So, pull up a chair at our table, and let’s dive into the conversation.

In today’s conversation, we’re going to bring a grown-up perspective to one of the most well-known stories of the entire Bible—David and Goliath. We’ll marvel, once again, at how it’s the hand of God that gets us to our destiny, and we’ll begin to understand that there are no coincidences in God’s story, but rather the unfolding of His divinely timed plans. We’ll discover that Goliath was not the only opposition David faced on this battlefield, and we’ll realize the ways in which the enemy often tries to take us out long before we ever reach the giant. We’ll discover the importance of seeing our lives through spiritual lenses if we do want to face our giants; and, just as in our last episode, we’ll find peace in the fact that our success doesn’t depend on our own ability, but on the power of God—that our stone only has power to take down the giant because it passes through the hand of God. So, pull up a chair at our table, and let’s dive into the conversation.

In today’s conversation, we’ll be arriving at the backstory of the second king of Israel, David—one of the greatest heroes of the Old Testament, the man who God Himself referred to as “a man after my own heart,” the man whose lineage eventually birthed the Son of God. We’ll wonder at the watchful eye of our attentive, sovereign God who sees all people, knows all people, and chooses who He uses according to the heart rather than ability, appearance, or position. We’ll observe how God prepares us (unbeknownst to us) in the most unsuspected ways and places for what He has for us, and we’ll see how it’s the hand of God that opens the doors to our callings, not our own strategizing or planning. And, we’ll find relief in the fact that no matter how much God equips and prepares us, the success of every calling ultimately depends upon that hand of God. So, pull up a chair at our table, and let’s dive into the conversation.
