A good friend of mine Matt chatted with me online briefly a few days ago and its kinda been nagging at me in the back of my mind...He asked a simple question, "real quick..what is your favorite two stories, one from the old testiment and the other from the new testiment." It took me a minute to think of my favorite from the old testiment, but i couldnt think of a favorite of the new because im so overwhelmed by Jesus. He was instantly able to say His two favorites, but I really had to think of mine. And that bothers me.
It made me realize...I need to be more familiar with the Bible....
This simple question is something I cant stop pondering and want to look closely at, starting with my fav from the old testiment.
My favorite story from the old testiment was the Dave and Goliath. I love how God has the power to overcome the hugest of tasks in someone so unlikely, so small. I love how nobody beleived in David. David had SO much faith in God, and totally saw in God;s perspective while everyone cowered. He also didnt wear any armor..he just used the talents God gave him and worked a miracle through God.
Through Him, He makes the impossible possible. He gives us all the gifts, the talents we need, we just need to trust and have faith in Him.
Thinking about the story, one I love but has been forgotten for some time, really pops more questions...am I using my talents for the good? Do I trust God is going to fight with me and for me when I face my giants? Am I looking at my impossible situations or "giant" in God's perspective?
"...sometimes, you trip and fall..build a mountain out of something small..." After Edmund
I really need to start looking in the eyes of God...seeing myself the way He sees me, rather than the lack of faith I have in myself. Stop making moutains outta something small, face my giants with faith God will pull me through. its amazing too that this is where this post went...not quite in a direction i imagined it to go. aparently i havent thought of my fav. story in a while and im glad ive touched on it again.
