1 Samuel 17 contains the story of David and Goliath, a true story of how God used what seemed small and impossible to defeat what seemed so big and undefeatable. It’s an inspiring story that contains principles we can all apply to our lives during hardship. God simply wants us to look at our “giants” … Continue reading Greater Than the Giant
