Topic: THE GOLIATH
Word: 1 Samuel 17:4 KJV
“And there went out a champion out of the camp of the Philistines, named Goliath, of Gath, whose height was six cubits and a span.”
Here's My Take:
WHO IS THE GOLIATH TO YOU?
6. An Arrogance and Proud Person:
If you have met people who possess excessive self-confidence, you'll understand this subject very well. They believe that they know it all, that they can do without anybody, and they hardly accept opinions.
Goliath was that kind of person. The battle between Israel and the Philistines was meant to be a fight between two nations, yet Goliath turned it into a one-man show. When he demanded a man to come and fight him, on whose authority was he speaking?! He was speaking neither for the King nor for the people of Philistine.
He initiated the idea without consulting even the ruler of the nation. I wonder how the King was surviving with him in the picture! There are people you'll wish were not in the picture—even when their presence may seem to benefit the organization, personally they are affecting you. True or false? Goliath is that kind of person.
Conclusion:
Please, how do you manage colleagues or partners who don't accept opinions—because for me, I will ignore you on the ones I don't know, but won't keep quiet on the areas I know?!
What's your take?
Song: "In Christ Alone" (Stuart Townend & Keith Getty)
Fullness of God in helpless babe!
This gift of love and righteousness,
Scorned by the ones He came to save.”
A hymn celebrating the humility, sacrifice, and triumph of Christ on the cross—where every sin was laid upon Him so believers might live in His grace. (Full lyrics can be found by searching for "In Christ Alone" on Google.)
Prayer:
Lord, save and deliver us from every form of pride and arrogance, in Jesus name. Amen.
