1 Corinthians 2:12 "Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God."
One of the most popular stories in the Bible is the one about David and Goliath. David slew the ten foot giant of a man with just a sling shot. Have you ever wondered why David was able to do it, and no one else in the army of Israel was willing to stand against the enemy? Not only was David victory conscious instead of defeat conscious, he also had past experiences of God's miraculous power in his life. David could remember the time when a lion tried to attack his sheep, but God empowered him to kill the lion. David also remembered when a bear came against his flock, but yet again he was able to kill the bear with God's strength. After all that David had seen God do in the past, why would he ever think any different about a giant, an army, or any other enemy that came against him! Now let's apply this to our lives today. I don't know about you, but I can honestly say that God has always brought me through the situations in my life that seemed impossible. He has never failed me........not one time. He didn't always do it how wanted, or even when I wanted, but He has never been anything but faithful. I bet you could say the same thing today, couldn't you? And it's because of what He's done for me in the past that gives me the faith to trust Him right now. Amen
