300? No Way Check Out 600.

So how big is your problem? Is it so big that you and 300 of your friends have to go marching off to face a thousand nation army who's archers can blot out the sun? You know that's a great story, but it has a problem... They all die. Instead lets look at someone who knows a few things about properly fighting battles.

David, as we all know killed one of the biggest men in history, Goliath. Now lets put things in perspective. David was a teenager, a shepherd boy, who killed a 9ft. 7in. head warrior of one of the most feared army's in the world at that time. David knew a few things about keeping things in perspective. Goliath was big, but God was bigger.

However, we all know about David and Goliath. So lets talk about David and his 600 men. Saul was still on the thrown and had gone mad because David was suppose to be the next King. So David and his army of 600 men became a group of bandits who took care of Israels neighboring enemies on their own. In 1st. Samuel Chapter 30 David comes home to find that the Amalekites had sacked their camp and taken everything. Their families, posessions, I mean everything. After David hand his 600 men cried until they could cry no more, God told them to go after the Amalekites.

Two things here. First, it is ok to cry. God mourns with you, but don't let that be your focus. David immediately from crying to praying. He didn't wallow and loose perspective. He knew God was bigger than his problem.

Second, David was a warrior, he played the guitar, and was not afraid of a good cry. HELLO guys reading this. Do you have any question why the girls where really into David?

The end of this story is much better. David's men went to the Amalekites capital where they fought the whole nation and won. They got everything back. Every person, every possession that was stolen was returned. They lost no one and wiped out a threating nation to Davids future thrown.

I know there are several of my friends who are going through similar things that I am. I know that everyone on here is going through problems of their own. I want to offer you encouragement today, that you are going through it. It's going to change. The Bible said though I walk THROUGH the valley of the shadow of death. Don't make camp there. Don't stay, but walk through it. To do that you have to keep the right perspective.

Your problems are big but God is bigger. David knew this and it is why he was so victorious. So are you magnifying your problems to God? or are you magnifying God to your problems? It's hard trust me I know. God says no weapon formed against you will prosper. Your best days are not behind you but they are in front of you.

Praise God he is bigger, get your joy back in your life, get Gods fire back in your heart. He already said he has delivered you. He already promised you something better. Have faith because all things are possible through faith.

I believe for your victory today.
