[Monday's Devotional] - Slaying Giants

Slaying Giants All of us have encountered and fought with giants of sorts in our lives.   While we know prayer to Almighty God is the answer, we are all at different levels of personal experience and do not always know what to do and how to pray.   The good news is that we are not alone.  Even some great bible heroes who knew God better than most of us would ever do, struggled with understanding of God's word and ways.  On one occasion, David was doing something he knew pleased God i.e. carrying God's ark to it's rightful place in Jerusalem.  Tragically, he used the wrong method.  He put the ark on a new wagon instead of asking priests to carry it on their shoulders using poles.  The outcome was not very pleasant.  Someone was killed in the process and David was afraid and angry with God.   He decided to abandon the ark in the care of some poor family who soon got blessed by God and began to visibly prosper.  When David heard about it, his desire to move the ark to Jerusalem was rekindled.  Through research, he discovered that he ought to have used the priests to carry the ark rather than a cart.  With this new revelation, David was able to carry the ark of the Lord into Jerusalem without incident. You can read this in 2 Samuel 6:1-15.   This week I am hoping that you and I will be able to learn together how to slay giants in our lives, using revelation from God's word.   Farai Mutsambiwa    Twitter Website Copyright © 2017 St. Matthew & St. Oswald's Church, All rights reserved.
