I was attempting to rest before the Lord and just "be" when I opened up my Bible and it fell right to the story of David and Goliath. I had just been praying and seeking God's face for a specific area my husband and I have been praying. So, it occurred to me to read this passage and pray it through when the Power of this passage hit me in a way I had never seen before. I immediately reached for my pen and began to transcribe my heart.

After, I lay for a quick physical rest and fell fast to sleep. I was then immediately awakened and clearly heard the Spirit of God speak to me, "I've given you a pen USE IT!" So- here is what my heart said...

"Then Jesse said to his son, David, 'Take now for your brothers an ephah of this dried grain and these ten loaves, and run to your brothers at the camp. And carry these ten cheeses to the captain of their thousand, and see how your brothers fare, and bring back news of them.'" 1 Samuel 17:17-18

Sometimes our Heavenly Father sends us into a situation that turns out to be an opposing giant in our life. We can be tempted to think, "if I hadn't obeyed my Father I wouldn't be in this situation." But because we love our Father, as David did so his, we obey, just as David.

Your giant could be difficulties at work, or maybe a health scare, maybe your household is turned upside down or your finances in disarray. Your giant could even be something opposing your faith. But God, Abba Father, knew what He was doing when He picked you. He knew it was you He wanted to send with provision for the situations of life at hand. Your entire life is a Divine Assignment when your heart is in proper alignment with Heavens Signature Pen. He knew...

Though you may seem small in your situation or the least of your resources...He knew you were really great. He sees what's inside. He knows He crafted you with superb ingredients. He knows the kind of food you bring to every avenue of this life you lead.

So, He put His Word in your heart and it extols the Lord. When you share your heart others are fed. It doesn't matter what you do for a living or what your giant is- you've been sent to the battle line to face it, overcome it and sustain others from your experience. God has you strategically placed right where you are at for His purpose sake.

Run to the battle line, do not shrink back, and watch your Father pull a sling shot from His pouch, face the Giants of life through you and with one shot knock them out!

All by the power of the Cross. Embrace the journey...
It is meant to be extraordinary!

70 "He chose David his servant
and took him from the sheep pens;
71 from tending the sheep he brought him
to be the shepherd of his people Jacob,
of Israel his inheritance.
72 And David shepherded them with integrity of heart;
with skillful hands he led them."

Psalm 78:70-72
