armor, but a problem that looks or feels too big to overcome?
What I said in today's prayer I have learned through "precious and
costly experience" and I believe it to be true:
"You have a solution to what I face before I face it. I will
see it when I see You as greater than the challenge."
A champion named Goliath, who was from Gath, came out of the
Philistine camp. He was over nine feet tall. He had a bronze helmet
on his head and wore a coat of scale armor of bronze weighing five
thousand shekels; on his legs he wore bronze greaves, and a bronze
javelin was slung on his back. His spear shaft was like a weaver's
rod, and its iron point weighed six hundred shekels. His shield
bearer went ahead of him. Goliath stood and shouted to the ranks of
Israel, "Why do you come out and line up for battle? Am I not a
Philistine, and are you not the servants of Saul? Choose a man and
have him come down to me." On hearing the Philistine's words, Saul
and all the Israelites were dismayed and terrified. (1 Sam 17:4-8,11 NIV)
