"Don't believe the limitations"


Listen Later

1Sam 17.32 And David said to Saul, Let no man's heart fail because of him; thy servant will go and fight with this Philistine.

David said to Saul ..... What a contrast a humble shepherd lad encouraging an experienced and successful warrior of Israel! Saul, the only giant of Israel (ch. 10.23), realized that he should have been the one to accept Goliath's challenge. But a guilty conscience left him fearful and trembling. Had love for God been in his heart it would have been sufficient to cast out all fear; but he had none of the love of God abiding in him. In its place there was only the "torment" of a guilty conscience (see 1 John 2.5; 4.18). David, on the other hand, radiated that spirit of genuine optimism and courage that is the badge of "a conscience void of offence toward God, and toward men" (Acts 24.16; cf. Ps. 51.10, 11). David was as courageous as Saul was cowardly.

1 Samuel 17:33, NLT "Don't be ridiculous!" Saul replied. "There's no way you can fight this Philistine and possibly win! You're only a boy, and he's been a man of war since his youth.

When the young shepherd David heard the giant Goliath taunting the Israelites, something rose up in him. He said, "Who is this uncircumcised Philistine that he should defy the armies of the living God?" God put the dream in him right there to defeat Goliath. When David told King Saul that he would defeat Goliath, you would think Saul would have been excited to finally have somebody step up to the fight, but he did just the opposite. However, David refused to believe the limitations and declared his victory before bringing Goliath down. 

The reason some people don't support or encourage you when you feel God has spoken something to you is because God didn't put the dream in them. They can't see what you see or feel what you feel. They may love you and think they're protecting you and doing you a favor by telling you what you can't do. But you have an empowerment that will cause it to come to pass. Rest assured it's on the way.

Father, thank You that I am not limited by what the people around me say or think about me. Thank You that You have qualified me to do what You have destined me to do. I will not allow others to put a limitation on what You have put in my heart. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
