JOHN Good Morning! I’m John Branning, the Lead Pastor of Central United Methodist Church. We all have giants that we face in life, things that may seem like insurmountable problems. It may be something we’re afraid of or something we’re under the power of. It may be something that seems to always loom large and never stop bothering us. Maybe you overcame this giant for a week or even a month and thought you had victory. And then it came back with a vengeance and brought you down. Giants defeat us again and again, because we face them in our own strength – and we lose. Ephesians 6:10 tells us to “be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might”. In other words, you can’t defeat your giants in your own strength. You can only do it through God’s strength. We rest in his strength when we face our giants, and we recognize that it is a spiritual battle. Turn your worries into prayers. Turn your fears into prayers. Turn your problems into petitions. Our God is greater than any giant that you face.
