Facing Giants

      Facing the Giants in our lives was talked about today by my co-author in his blog Humor 4 A Purpose.  He is so right.  We do face giants of fear, financial problems, temptations, and many others, and, like he said, we cannot be victorious without God in our lives. 

     To enhance on his blog, I would like to say that we all, also, face emotional feelings of loneliness at times.  Those without God in their lives will always have an empty space in their hearts where God belongs.   As Christians, we have lonely times; it does not matter if we have loving people around us, there will times when we are not feeling joyful and do not even know the reason.  Yet, Christians  have hope; we have the Spirit of Jesus living within our hearts to help remove this giant of loneliness.  We have a church family and a Christian fellowship; we have the word of God and a living God within us.  We have the promises of God.  In Hebrews 13:5 we are told that He will never leave or forsake us.  We can choose to reach out to others and to reach out and study God's word.  We can choose to talk with God about our problems.  There are ways to defeat the giant of loneliness.  We will continue to have giants in our lives.  We just have to have the faith and courage David had in God when he picked up a small stone to slay the great giant who was placing fear into the heart of the king's army.
