The story of David and Goliath shows us that if God is on your side the giants in your life can be defeated. During this time, we are fighting a giant that is named "Corona". This giant is massive and destructive. It is wreaking havoc on our world, and it looks insurmountable. Though it looks like we may be defeated, I cannot stop thinking about the fact that Goliath did fall. Though Goliath was big and gruesome, he still was defeated at the hand of our God. My conclusion is that in the face and presence of God, the giant that we are fighting now named "Corona", will have to fall and be defeated as well. My hope is in the Giant-killer. I do believe that during the time, however, like David, we must fight back. Here a few ways I think we can fight back during this time:
1. Be Thankful - There are still things to be thankful for. Look for them and concentrate on them.
2. Be giving - Volunteer, give financially, help out. This is a time for us all to come together 3. Be loving- This season is not an excuse to be racist. The Corona Virus is not discriminatory, nor should we be.
4. Use this time wisely. - You have a lot of time to spend at home- Make the most of it. Take advantage of this time.
5. Be watchful of old habits and thoughts that will try to pop back up during this time. - See "Talk Back Challenge"
6. DO NOT FEAR - Don't let fear rule you in this time ' " God did not give you the spirit of fear.."
Disclaimer/ Correction: In this video, I say that the quote " The only thing to fear is fear itself" is from Teddy Roosevelt. I am incorrect. It is from FDR.
