We are living in an exciting time in history! God is not just working throughout the world, but also in our nation. And guess what? He wants to use us for the great plans He has for Singapore.

Today’s text in 1 Samuel suggests how you can experience a taste of God’s awesome power — not only in your life, but also in your church and nation. Here are 3 things that you need to do:

Identify your giant

Take time to identify your giant, just as David identified his giant (a Philistine named Goliath). Giants make you feel small and keep you from becoming what God wants you to be. Your “giant” may be fear, or some mean words that have been spoken about you. 

Discover the importance of knowing God

David had the courage to battle his giant because He believed that God would help him. David remembered how God had helped him fight bears and lions when he was a shepherd. He did not just know facts about God from other people – David knew God well and he knew how powerful God was.

Be bold to step out in faith

Even though no one else was willing to take up the challenge to fight Goliath, David stepped out in faith. Because of this young boy facing a giant in the name of the Lord, his people were saved, and they had new hope and faith in God.

Discuss

1. What is the giant in your life that God is speaking to you about? How do you feel about it?

2. Share an experience when you saw God working in your life. What did you learn about God through that?

Pray

1. Pray that God will help you identify your giant. Talk to God about it and ask Him to show you what you can do.

2. Pray that God will show Himself to you so that you can understand who He is and what He wants to do through you. You could be the David of your generation!
