WHEN THE GIANTS RE-APPEAR
Today's reading: 2 Samuel 19:40-21:22, John 14:1-17, Psalm 89:14-18

"Once again the Philistines were at war with Israel..." 2 Samuel 21:15 NLT

"After this, there was another battle against the Philistines..." 2 Samuel 21:18 NLT

"In another battle with the Philistines..." 2 Samuel 21:22 NLT

Just when you thought David and his slingshot had rid the world of the evils of towering giants, they show up again.

And again.

And again.

Noticed it in your own life?

What you once believed to be defeated, rears up and confronts you?

What you once settled at the altar, shows up on your doorstep ready to tangle again?

What you believed God had removed from your heart, re-surfaces in an even uglier manner than ever before?

Giants sometimes return.

So does God's grace to conquer them. And His mercy to anoint you. And His love to wrap you up. And His strength to arm you. And His presence to comfort you. And His joy to keep you going as the battle rages day after day.
