Devotional reading...He's Done it Before, He can do it again.

      I Samuel 17:37  David said, The Lord Who delivered me out of the paw of the lion and out of the paw of the bear.  He will deliver me out of the hand of this Philistine.  And Saul said to David, Go and the Lord be with you!  

      If we remember the miracles God has done in the past with awe and a thankful heart, we will not so easily fall into worry and fear when we have new challenges to face.  When David was facing Goliath, he remembered the lion and the bear he had already slain with God's help.  Because he remembered what God had done he had no fear of his situation with Goliath.
        Are you facing something right now that looks like a giant in your life?  If so, remember God's goodness, be thankful for what He has done before, and choose to believe He can do it again.  Write down three things that God has done for you in the past and focus on them instead of your problem.  Nothing is impossible for God.  take some time to think about and talk about God's miraculous work.  Then you will find courage filling your heart.  

Lord, with all my heart, I thank You, for the wonders You have done in the past.  And today, I stand in faith, believing that You will work mightily in my life once again.  Thank You for being the same yesterday, today and forever.  IN your name we pray AMEN
