Giant Slayers

When we think of giant slayers, the account of David and Goliath comes to mind.

As a leader, however, David surrounded himself with others of like character.

Of David’s thirty-seven mighty men, at least four were involved in slaying giants.

As leaders, there will be giants that cross our paths. They oppose our efforts to accomplish God’s will, and they take many forms.

We must be able to overcome them and surround ourselves with others of like character.

Great leaders see the qualities in others to achieve success, even if it is necessary to take out giants.

Greatest Ally

Leadership is not about making things happen on our own. The minute we try to go alone, we are destined for failure.

When David faced Goliath he knew his Greatest Ally. Goliath came to the battle equipped and able to fight, at least from a physical point of view. David came with the living God of Israel by his side. Care to guess who wins?

When we come to the battle with the living God by our side, we cannot fail. Paul reminds us of this in Romans 8:31-39.

The lesson is powerful and we can live with this confidence when God is our greatest Ally.

Our Greatest Ally

Leadership is not about trying to make things happen on our own. The minute we go at it alone, we are destined to fail.

When David faced Goliath he knew the One who was there to help him. Goliath came to the battle as a warrior armed with a javelin, sword and spear. However, David came with the living God of Israel on his side. Who do you think won?

Do we know our greatest Ally? When we come to the battle with the living God on our side, we cannot fail.

Paul reminds us of this truth (Rom. 8:31-39).
