It's hard to be David, or even Superman.
People tell you: You're not Superman. Unfortunately, one is seldom Superman by choice, but often by appointment. However, He who appoints will also sustain, in that i have faith.
There's so many things i want to accomplish this year. Some carried forward from years ago, some half done, some not even started. However, somehow somewhere i lost sight of the vision. I need to find it back but it requires much more than determination. There's so many things i need to put aside, things i need to get rid off. Easier said than done.
Was reading up abit during my long arduous wait at the polyclinic (which was worth it becaused i earned a 2 days MC). Max Lucado talks about how David faced Goliath.
"So it was, when the Philistine arose and came and drew near to meet David, that David hurried and ran toward the army to meet the Philistine" (1Sam 17:48)
Even as the giant approached, filled with confidence David hurried forward to meet him. Instead of fleeing or hiding, David was eager to face his giant. How many of us are even brave enough to look at our problems in the face? Much less be eager to overcome them.
There are so many more revelations from how David slayed goliath but i think this part had impacted me the most.
It's been a phenomenal day today but im ever more ready to face the challenges of tommorow.
Note: If you are interested to read more about how young David killed goliath, the story is in 1Sam 13. You can easily read it online @ www.biblegateway.com. Max Lucado's "Facing Your Giants" available at attributes, and I suppose most other christian bookstores.
Sidenote: Thx loads to Clarence for blessing me with the book =)
