So my team decided to do a skit for the homeless men and women last week. We picked the story of David and Goliath (1Samuel 17). I want you to imagine this skit: our props included a plastic fork and a crumpled up napkin as David’s sling and stone and a t-square as Goliath’s sword. I don’t really have a gift for acting, so I was assigned the role as narrator. Let me just stop here and say that this alone was my first step out of faith because I greatly dislike public speaking.
I shared with the men and women that we all have that one thing that is a “giant” in our own life, whether sickness, depression, drugs, alcohol, anger, loneliness, and we sometimes don’t see a way to overcome it. But do we even trust God with these things in our lives? Do we ask Him for help in meeting this enemy? Or do we try to deal with them on our own? I know one “giant” in my own life is the fear of public speaking. There are numerous reasons why I don’t like it, but I want to see God help me overcome this. Like tonight, I didn’t want to stand up in front of those men and women and share my faith – they are a tough crowd – but I was willing to and I obeyed Him in that and I saw how He was faithful in that one small way. God is worthy of our trust! Give Him a chance to show you!
