There are many times (albeit for different reasons ) we need to draw upon that same stubborn spirit stirring within those little scrawny pint size children....when they stomp little feet and dig in tiny heels while declaring in a voice so loud it can surely be heard by anyone in the neighboring county....."you are not the boss of me"! Today more than ever, we too need to purpose once again, to hold firm and stand for that what matters!
Much around us is being questioned on a daily basis and altered to fit the arena we find ourselves in. Values,relationships, finances, our future and our faith- all under attack by the spirit of an age where foundations are shaken and our world consists of a landscape ever shifting like the rolling sea! David the shepherd boy stood up to his Goliath not with a coat of armor or a sword and a spear- but instead with the Spirit of the Living God flowing through his very being. David stood. He did not waiver, he did not back down and he did not run. He stood against the lies of a Philistine giant. He stood against insults that came against his God, his people and his future. Much was at stake that day. If the God of Israel whom David trusted did not fight the battle- all would be lost. David listened and obeyed what God told him to do. He gathered five stones, he placed them in his sling- he stood his ground and declared for all time .... that Goliath and all he stood for would NOT "be the boss" of him!
I want that same strong spirit- to stand for what is true and right- to stand for what matters and not back down... Lord fill me- (fill us )today fresh and anew- that I would not allow the spirit of this age- to "be the boss of me" anymore. That I like David- would be a world changer- making a difference with what YOU have put in my hands!
