FAcing GIANT

How many of us have giants that we are facing today? If only we knew how to fight will be an awesome thing to do. You are defeated by your giant already when you don’t make a plan of action on how to defeat him. Giants can sometime relate to failing in your health, lack of finances, and life of defeat in most areas. You must do something about the situation by sitting down and making a decision to take action. If you can remember in the story of David and Goliath on how David stood before his giant Goliath boldly without hesitation. He had confidence to fight this 9ft. giant and also he had a plan to take this monster out. Although David was hardly one-fourth the size Goliath was but that did not scare him. Most people are afraid to challenge a situation that seems to be too big to handle but you would never know a way out if you don’t have a plan. Unlike David, he put together five smooth stones and took a chance knowing that one of those stones was going to knock Goliath out forever. Sometimes in life you must take what you have in your hand and do something positive with it; meaning what you have just make the best of it. When writing this topic, I was reminded of a documentary that my family and I were watching on a famous cable channel about small animals being a prey for larger animal. This one episode showed how a large snake was trying to prey upon a mother squirrel and her babies in a cuddly hole under some rock. The snake found the mother and the babies backed up in a corner trying to run as far as they could from the snake. Surely the snake wanted dinner from one of them. Apparently, the mother squirrel made up in her mind because they had nowhere else to go, she would face her giant face to face even if it means her getting hurt. In order to protect her babies she took courage and stood on her hind and waited for the snake to come into the hole and surely he did and tried attacking her and the babies. She stood fighting and slinging dirt and everything in the eyes of the snake in order to make him run away from her little cave. Eventually the snake got tired and gave up; he backed out of the hole of the cave and never returned. The mother squirrel and her babies were able to escape without any harm done. All because the mother squirrel took courage with no other choice, and were able to win the fight. Even for us as human when we find ourselves caught in situation that seems too deep. Come face to face without being afraid and after all you find that your giant weren’t as big as you thought it to be. Then it makes you feel better about yourself having confidence that you can overcome some rough situation. It takes some perseverance and patience mix with courage then you find yourself to be a winner.
