<h1>What Giant are You Facing? - Karen Hardin</h1>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img src="https://mcusercontent.com/1868b62ba50dc78bf57227c75/images/e298182b-98ea-5a85-b80a-93f2e804ceaa.jpg" alt="" width="222" height="125" style="float: right;" hspace="10/" />While David faced a giant of physical proportions, <strong>there are still “giants” roaming the earth that challenge us</strong> in the physical, emotional, mental, and financial realms.<br /><br /> Do you think David woke up the day when he faced Goliath thinking, “I’m going to have to kill a giant today?” Of course not. In fact, he was simply on an errand for his father to deliver food to his brothers and Saul’s army.<br /><br /> While I’m certain he didn’t wake up that day thinking he would be in a battle against a giant before the day’s end, he did wake up knowing he served a mighty God!<br /><br /> David had been preparing for that moment for years. The years he had been alone with the sheep—an outcast from his family in many ways—he used that time well. It was there he learned to worship and commune with God. It was there he learned to hear the voice of God.<br /><br /> David was treated like he was less than others. Have you felt that way? Have you felt you don’t really fit in anywhere? David did. Remember when the prophet Samuel told Jesse to call his sons together? Who wasn’t invited? David. Many theologians believe David was perhaps the product of an affair and not a legitimate son. But what we do know is that Jesse didn’t treat him the same as his brothers.</p>
