The story of Philip and the Ethiopian is a compelling and challenging story. I wonder if there is a challenge in there for us?

God has poured upon us an unconditional love...and we are created in His image...and we are called to share this same unconditional love.

Ever found yourself working or being in a place that was simply hard...yet only to find later it was that experience that allows you to now be victorious elsewhere?

It's so easy to discount and throw away and become bitter in those seasons...BUT...what if we could see them for what they are and what they could become?

David's battle and victory over Goliath is one of the greatest comeback stories in history.

David even carried around the head of that giant for 32 km's...then he placed it down in Jerusalem.

Why?

David and Goliath is a great story to encourage us that we can face and defeat our giants.

But the biggest battle on display is now the one that David fights with Goliath...it's his battle for the Honour of the Name of the Lord.

One thing we know for sure...we are all destined to dies ONCE and then we face judgement - then experiencing either Everlasting Torment or Everlasting Life.

The answer is and in Jesus...not ghosts!!

Goliath of Gath was a giant of a man. He DEFIED the armies of the Lord and dishonoured His name.

Yet amongst all the thousands of Israelites, only one was offended by this. Only one was willing to go into battle for the Name of the Lord

The only way for you and I as believers to find STRENGTH to live out this thing we call life is to learn to REST in Him.

Sometimes we try so hard to get right with Father God that we end up exhausted...when all we have to do is sit with Him.

It is He alone that makes us Right...not our efforts. Not now, not ever.

If God made everything and is everything...do we live like He is everything to us?

When we change the characteristics of our Father it DOES NOT change who He is...it only changes who He is to us. So, who is He to you?
