No way. [ 1 Samuel 17 v 41- 54 ]

Murry the giant slayer,well not quite,I was watching tennis on TV as I do every year,Murry was playing Karlovic,now Murry is not a small person,
but  Karlovic is tall, 6feet 11 inches tall.When they had finished their match which Murry won,as they walked off the court,Karlovic appeared like a giant.Now it was only a game of tennis,the looser will dust himself down,
and go unto his next game of tennis.But there is a story in the Bible about a
little chap,facing a big giant,and it was not a tennis match,it was a war zone,that would be decided by a small lad and a giant of a man.The Lads name was David,the giants name was Goliath,the young lad had risen to the giants challenge,of fighting him in combat. All Israel were quaking with fear,even big Saul, the enemies of Israel were licking their lips,assured  that their champion would win,there is a saying in boxing a big one will always beat a little one.The giant thought that,the Philistines thought that,and possible all Israel thought that also.Feather weights do not beat heavy weights,how on earth could David win?,well the answer is very simple,faith in his God,and so it came to pass.
                                           A  prayer.
Dear God you know the giants we have to face,and You know how small and inadequate we are,so by faith we look to You to give us the victory,in Jesus
name Amen.
