Most likely, you did not ask for the battle you are in. You didn’t think this was going to turn into a giant (whatever the “this” is). The warfare is taking longer than you feel you have strength for. You may have thought you defeated that giant already and here it is again. You ARE afraid of your giant and have no idea how it will ever be defeated. Your mind is a constant battlefield. And friend, your victory just may not look like you thought it would. Those are all my story. It seems some people’s lives are just riddled with giants: Abuse, Lack, Fear, Doubt, Death, Jealousy, Divorce, Sickness, or Disappointment. One thing after the next.

Do you know someone like that? Is it you? Are you facing off with a giant? In some seasons, it seems you can’t throw a rock and not hit a giant in your life. Oh wait, that is what David did and he SLEW the giant in his life with one smooth stone and then used Goliath’s own sword to cut off his head. Unless you use the sword of the Word of God and cut off that tormenting giant’s head, he will continue to run his mouth. Within you my friend is “The Lion of the Tribe of Judah.” You are more fierce than you may realize. And you ARE equipped to be victorious rather than a victim.

The victory I walk in is sweeter than I could have imagined. My relationship with the Lord became stronger with each battle (let’s be truthful—eventually). And I found that giants are slain as I lean on the Lord and not my own understanding. It is possible to walk in victory before the battle is won. And you can find a place of trust and confidence in Him that will allow you to boldly say, “I Ain’t Afraid of NO Giants” even while learning not to be afraid of that giant.
