You’ve probably heard the story of David and Goliath: David was a young man after God’s own heart, who volunteered to fight Goliath. Goliath was a giant who stirred fear in the hearts of men everywhere. David was smaller, weaker, and less skilled than Goliath—but somehow, he won the battle! How could this be? How did this happen?  David’s own words tell us:  “…I come against you in the name of the Lord Almighty…this day the Lord will deliver you into my hands…”

As Christians, we have the maker of heaven and earth on our side. Proverbs 16:3 says, “Commit your work to the Lord, and then your plans will succeed”. In David’s case, his plans honored the Lord, and God was with him. In each of our lives, we will encounter “Goliath” situations. Big hurdles. Impossible-looking tasks. Overwhelming obstacles. But friend, I encourage you to cling to Christ. Commit your ways to Him. Let Him guide your decision-making. He will give you the power to succeed. “He gives power to the weak,” the Holy Word of God says.

One way you can submit yourself to Christ is through committing to share His good news with all the people in your life. Ask God for opportunities to share the Good News, and look expectantly for Him to provide those opportunities. He will do it.
