Facing future giants. - Giants are things bigger than us, like trials, etc. How to prepare? 1. Humility - ability to accept that God has a plan and we submit ourselves to that plan. 2. Rise above - giants would make us feel small to undermine our confidence and to downsize our faith. But giant problems are opportunities to show the power of God. 3. Plug into God - connect to the source of power: God. It is from such continued connection that we always hear God's voice that tells us that we are His beloved. Claiming victory We can claim our victory by humbly accepting God's plan for us and by being always connected to Him. These will lead us to God's assuring love to sustain us in facing life's giants. No matter how big the giants, we should not be discouraged and feel defeated. We should always remember who we are in the eyes of God -- His beloved.
