Look up

In the previous posting we talked about 'Goliaths' of many kinds that we have to face in life. In order to be able to face and overcome those Goliaths, we need to have proper training as David had as a shepherd. Besides, we need to be equipped with the right tools.

Most of the time we are being surrounded by Goliaths. We cant move forward because he is right in front of our way but we cant move backward either because another kind of Goliath is standing there. We try to go to the left but the Goliath of family crisis is hindering us. We turn to our right, hoping to see an opening to escape but Goliath of financial problem is also staring right to our face.....where should we go? what should we do?

I could imagine if David was also in that situation. When he saw the giant Goliath, he might speak to himself "What a giant!..we could I run?! But can I run away?..If I run away, King Saul must be very angry at me and have me killed"...So what did David do? He faced the giant in faith!! He looked up at God and step forward fully relying in Him.

We are in the very same situation quite often then not. Surrounded by giants of life issues and have no where to go. What can we do?..Look up to God because He is watching over is...He will deliver us from that giants...We might think that God is not watching but He does...Remember when we go watching our child taking part in activities in school?...When he is performing with his teammates, we as parents will try our best to focus on him. We did not really look at the entire team but we focus on our child alone. Even though there are many of them out there doing the activities or performance but our focus is on our child only. We just know what and how he is doing. He might do not see us because we are sitting in the middle of a big crowd..but at times, when he look up, he will see us sitting there.....

As a child of God, we just need to look up to the Father...we know He is right there focusing on us, watching us....take a time to look up....
