Simple Faith

David approached Goliath with uncomplicated faith. He simply believed in and trusted God. It was a faith shaped through years as a shepherd when he spent many hours alone with Him. It made no difference whether he faced a lion or a giant, David knew that, in every situation, God was with him, and that he could trust Him.

No other soldier viewed Goliath with this level of faith. Depending on their own strength, they were afraid of defeat or failure. The challenge appeared to be too great. They could not believe God could help them overcome.

As you face life’s battles, you can learn a lot from David’s example. Some Christians allow the world to shape their thinking and fill them with doubt. They find it hard to believe that God can give them the resources they need and solve any problem. Like David, you need a simple faith. Believe God is with you, and He is faithful.

The Bible urges you to remember that, with God on your side, you can take on any giant. You just need faith in Him. As Jesus said, you need faith as small as a mustard seed. Then, “nothing will be impossible for you” (Matthew 17:20).

Practice putting your faith into action. Renew your relationship with the Father. Pray until fear and doubt are banished. Read His Word. Confess His promises. Be bold and confident, ready to step out in faith.
