Read a Samuel 17:23-51
Everyone will have a giant to face in their life, the question is, how will you respond to it?
God allows giants to come in our life to show us that it is not about us, but He is developing faith within us.
The story of David and Goliath will give us real life practical applications on how to not only face our giants, but be victorious over them.
1. List a giant that you are currently facing, and/or list a dream, vision, or goal that you have that is bigger than you.
