http://www.gospelines.com "Winning Against Goliath" A small lake behind my workplace is hidden by a grove of trees. High in the tallest tree a chicken hawk has made his nest. Every day he can be seen hunting for his prey, soaring with proud wings through the air, patiently waiting for the right moment to fall silently from the sky and snatch his victim with viselike claws Yesterday, a tiny mockingbird fell from its nest, helplessly crying for something or someone to rescue him. Nearby, the parent mockingbird heard the distress call and flew straight at the menacing claws of the hawk. Fearlessly, the smaller bird dove time and again at the beast, pecking at its back, squawking loudly, risking its life for the fallen baby. Because he was unable to maneuver as quickly as the mockingbird, or maybe deciding that it wasn't worth the fight, the mighty hunter left the area to find dinner elsewhere. We often find ourselves facing Goliath-like foes in the workplace, in our social groups and among our peers. While it may seem the enemy or temptation is bigger than life we will never know until we make the attempt to overcome our adversary. God is able to instill courage beyond our means and strength far above our capabilities if only we will risk the fight instead of giving up. GospeLines Prayer: Father, I am weak but you are strong; I am cowardly but you are brave; I am afraid but you are fearless. NOW, LET'S GO OUT AND FACE GOLIATH TOGETHER! Amen and amen.
