"As the Philistine moved closer to attack him, David ran...to meet him." 1 Sa 17:48 NIV
Are you ready to grab your sword of faith and behead the giant in your life? Your best strategy will always be to attack a giant before it has a chance to get the best of you. Eleanor Roosevelt said, "You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in rhetoric face." And you can do it! "For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind" (2Ti 1:7 NKJV). Whether real or imagined, all threats are perceived as having the potential for loss. It may be the loss of your income, your health, your position, a desired relationship, etc. Freedom begins when you stop and make an honest confession of the loss you really fear. Identifying and acknowledging your real fears will be a giant step toward breaking free from them. To do this, you must go through the process of peeling the "fear onion" to get to the core of your anxiety. And you may have to peel back a lot more layers than expected. David didn't wait for the giant to come to him. "David ran quickly...to meet him." Get your problem out into the open, confront it, develop a plan for overcoming it, and remember that God is with you and will enable you to conquer it. Dale Carnegie said, "Do the thing you fear to do, and keep doing it...That is the quickest and surest way ever yet discovered to conquer fear." And with God on your side, your victory is guaranteed.
