You shouldn’t take this lightly.
I was reading the new on line at Christian Post and came across a cartoon of Goliath; it was essential making the giant Goliath out to be a fool. As I thought about this cartoon I begin to realize that in actuality so many of us are walking with the same problem as Goliath; we don’t treat serious things seriously. Goliath was going to a literally fight to the death with David and all he could do was make jokes and mock him; Goliath didn’t take David, his God, his sling, or his stone seriously and a combination of the four is what killed him. 1 Samuel 17:42-44 says:
42 He looked David over and saw that he was only a boy, ruddy and handsome, and he despised him. 43 He said to David, “Am I a dog, that you come at me with sticks?” And the Philistine cursed David by his gods. 44 “Come here,” he said, “and I’ll give your flesh to the birds of the air and the beasts of the field!”
One of the first things you learn in athletics and I would hope in war is to never under estimate you opponent and to expect the unexpected. The Bible is clear that we do not battle against flesh and blood in this world but against the rulers of darkness in this world. (Ephesians 6:12) The plain of satan is to have us walking around like Goliath not taking things seriously and over looking the important things in life. Goliath was in the midst of a battle for his life and his undoing was his inability to take David seriously. You are locked into a battle for your life as well; will you be undone because you haven’t taken the things of this world serious or because you over looked something.
Do not under estimate the enemy; your next breath could be your last and eternity will be staring you in the face. When you stand before God on judgment day the last thing you want is to be wondering if you took life and the things of God serious enough.
If you have a question, need a Bible or if you have a prayer request; let us know.
In Christ,
