Devotional
Beloved, it is no secret that this pilgrim life is filled with many giants. We face trials, temptations, fears, suffering, loss, and spiritual battles that seem far greater than our own strength. Yet the Bible continually reminds us that our hope is never to be found in ourselves, beloved; it is ONLY to be found in Almighty God, our Slayer of Giants.
The same God who delivered David from Goliath is still the ETERNAL Slayer of Giants. He is the ETERNAL Lord of Hosts (Armies), our ETERNAL refuge, our ETERNAL strength, and our precious faithful Shepherd who lives in us and walks with us through every battle that this pilgrim life throws at us. His ETERNAL presence gives us great confidence and courage because He has promised to NEVER leave us nor forsake us.
The greatest giants humanity has ever faced are sin, death, the grave, and Satan. Through His cross and glorious resurrection, Jesus Christ absolutely conquered them all FOREVER. He is the Mighty Conquering Savior and lover of our souls. Beloved, he is our victorious Lord and King who reigns ETERNALLY in all power and might, who can stand before Him. Because we are in Christ, we can face every trial by faith, knowing that nothing is greater than our God. He ETERNALLY stands alone victorious and uncontested.
Whatever giant stands before you today, remember that it stands before Almighty God first. He is working through every battle to strengthen your faith, display His glory, and draw you closer to Himself in His perfect agape love.
Our confidence is not in the size of our faith, but in the greatness of our God.
He is our ETERNAL Slayer of Giants, our ETERNAL Deliverer, our ETERNAL Defender, and the Savior of our souls. Beloved, how wonderful is that!

Reflection Questions
What "giant" am I facing today, and have I entrusted it to my Slayer of Giants?
How does remembering Jesus’ ETERNAL victory over sin, death, and Satan strengthen my faith during life's battles?
Am I focusing more on the size of my problems or on the greatness of my God?
Prayer
Heavenly Father,
Thank You for being my ETERNAL Slayer of Giants. Thank You that no battle is too great for You and no trial is beyond Your ETERNAL sovereign care. Help me, precious Savior, to keep my eyes on Your ETERNAL greatness rather than on the giants before me that scare and frighten me.
Strengthen my faith to trust Your ETERNAL promises, walk in Your ETERNAL presence, and rest in Your perfect ETERNAL will. Thank You that through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, You have destroyed, obliterated, and conquered sin, death, and Satan FOREVER.
As I abide in You, continue to disciple and quiet my heart and remind me that You are ALWAYS with me. May my life boldly proclaim that You alone are my Deliverer, my Defender, my Slayer of Giants and the ETERNAL Savior of my soul.
In the mighty and victorious name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
