Welcome to day 4. Lots of things happening today. First day back to school with my students, first afternoon run in the gorge and first big step on goal 1.
No I didnt run this morning yes I know I am a big sissy! I did however give the first part of my day to God. It was harder to do that today than yesterday. Lots of worldly thoughts kept running in my head during my quite time, most of them ever bit as loud as I normaly am.
Day 4 Devotion 5 Smooth Stones Samuel 17:39-40
How many times have I used this story of David and Golith as a pregame speech. I have always coached as small rural school and we always seem to play a larger school for a championship. I like to use this story, because in basketball you have 5 players and one of them must step up and help us beat our "Golith"
In all my years I have never looked at the five stones a verses from the Bible to use in my daily life to slay my Goliths. The world armor is to heavy and slows me down. All I need is 5 verses from Gods Word to defend myself against what the world brings against me. I will search Gods word to find my 5 verses of encouragement and faith. When the world attacks and I feel weak and on the verge of being defeated, I will get out my 5 stones and recite them, Yes out loud, I feel quite confident over the next seveal weeks, I will be saying them often.
Can these 5 stones be used to help me reach my 3 goals? hmmmm Only if fatih in God is apart of reaching my goals. What I have to remember is I can do all things THROUGH Christ, not with Him or occasionally when it gets to dificult for me.
My prayer for the day: Lord give me wisdom to find 5 stones in Your Word to use against the world so that I might defend my heart from the attacks of the world.
