I have to admit this week, I have often felt like David in the Bible standing in front of Goliath with nothing but a slingshot. This week has been one for the books. Are you feeling a little weak in your faith?
The Bible tells us about a man named David. He tended the sheep. However, David was anointed by God. Every day, Goliath would defy the people of Israel. If someone could fight and kill the Goliath, they would be free of Philistines. David volunteered to fight Goliath. He set out with a slingshot and five smooth stones. David had God by his side. He trusted and had faith.
You can read more of the story of David and Goliath in Samuel 17.
God doesn’t promise us a perfect life. However, we do have His assurance that He will always be with us even when we are fighting a battle.
The Bible says, “Yet amid all these things we are more than conquerors and faint a surpassing victory through Him who loves us.” Romans 8:37
If you are feeling a little weak in your faith because you are facing a battle today, know that God is on your side. Fight Satan with what you know which is prayer and the Word of God.
When you are feeling weak in the knees, pray!
No matter what comes your way, you can face it because you are an overcomer with Christ!

How many of you post a picture and stay logged into Social Media to check for likes? I confess I have been guilty of this. I spend too much time on Social Media. Even still, deep down I know my value is not connected to likes on Social Media!
Connecting is important…
But we can’t let this connection rule our feelings about ourselves. So how we feel about ourselves affects our attitudes.
Therefore, we can find more value in our connection to God.
God does not play favorites. The Bible states, “For there is no partiality with God” Romans 2:11.
Our value is not connected to Social Media likes…
Everyone is valuable to God! We all have a purpose on earth. Our purpose is more than the feeling we get when we get a bunch of likes on our Social Media posts. No one should ever feel devalued or feel like they have no worth.
Our reward comes from God not on how many likes on Social Media!
Ephesians 6:8, “…knowing that whatever good thing each one does, he will receive this back from the Lord.”

I have often wondered why we even have a time change but I am glad that we do. So, let me start off by saying I am thankful for the time change. You might be thinking right now that you struggle to find anything to be thankful for or anything to be happy about. I can truthfully say that there are some days that I struggle myself.
Always things to be thankful for…
We can all agree this year has been filled with many struggles. However, it is in the midst of these struggles we find God.
Thankfulness…
The Bible says, “in every situation be thankful and continually give thanks to God; for this is the will of God for you in Christ Jesus” 1 Thess. 5:18.
Whatever is going on in our lives. We should always remain thankful. Even when we have a problem or even a few problems, there are still things to be thankful for. A thankful heart is a happy heart so go ahead and make yourself happy by being thankful.
