"May the Force be With You"

http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1%20samual%2017&version=NIV

This scripture is of David and Goliath. David was a Shepard and his three older brothers were away at war. David shows great courage and belief in this passage. He knew that he could take on the giant because he had killed lions and bears that had attacked his sheep. He stated that he could do it because God was helping him. Saul didn't have much faith in him. Saul didn't think that David was strong enough to beat the giant. David beat him with a sling and a stone. This reminds me of the song, Voice of Truth, by Casting Crowns. In one part of it, it says...
"Oh what I would do to have
The kind of strength it takes to stand before a giant
With just a sling and a stone
Surrounded by the sound of a thousand warriors
Shaking in their armor
Wishing they'd have had the strength to stand

But the giant's calling out my name and he laughs at me
Reminding me of all the times I've tried before and failed
The giant keeps on telling me
Time and time again, "Boy, You'll never win!"
"You'll never win!"

But the Voice of Truth tells me a different story
The Voice of Truth says, "Do not be afraid!"
And the Voice of Truth says, "This is for My glory"
Out of all the voices calling out to me
I will choose to listen and believe
The Voice of Truth

But the stone was just the right size
To put the giant on the ground
And the waves they don't seem so high
From on top of them lookin' down
I will soar with the wings of eagles
When I stop and listen to the sound of Jesus
Singing over me"

We have to listen to what story God is telling us. He is the ONLY Voice of Truth. You can accomplish anything you set your mind to. You just have to know that God is with you and He will bring you through. "For nothing is impossible with God." -Luke 1:37. "For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love, and of self-discipline." 1 Timothy 1:7. "But a spirit of power," so we have the power to do anything for Him and with Him. God has great plans. He doesn't need us to do them, He is the Lord of the Universe, but He chooses to use us and impact the world. The world is going to bring you down and tell you that you aren't good enough, but that is not the Voice of Truth. Don't listen to it. You are perfect in the eyes of God. He made you how He wanted to you and made you the person you are. He has a plan for you, just listen and obey.
