More Giants

David emerged as a hero when he killed the giant Goliath. As a result, he was asked to lead the army of Israel. Under his command, Israel experienced many victories. Yet Israel never was freed completely from threats. Even after the death of Goliath, there were more giants in the land.

David and his men learned to stay vigilant. They had to be prepared to face these giants as well as other foes. They would have ongoing battles and always needed to be alert and ready to fight.

This is a picture of the spiritual warfare we face each day! We may feel relieved after winning a victory, but we cannot let down our guard.

In David’s time, they learned there were many kinds of giants. In similar ways, today we face many adversaries. Our enemy, the devil and his demons, never stops attacking or looking for weaknesses to exploit.

In Jesus’ name and through the power of the Holy Spirit, you have authority over all the power of the enemy (Luke 10:19). But you still can be attacked. You still need to be prepared. Make sure you are on guard and alert all the time.

Remember that our adversary “prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour” (1 Peter 5:8). Stay vigilant, armed, and ready for battle. You are protected by the armor of God and the shield of faith. Stand firm (Ephesians 6:10-18).
