Facing The Giants by Adriel Loh ~1 Samuel 17 (Story of David & Goliath)~
2 kinds of people - winners & watchers. Which one is you?
Principle 1 - Do not let others put you down. David did not let saul or the rest belittle him. > Do not be afraid to fight, stand up to your values or for yourself. > Stop listening to people who put you down. Selective listening. > Don't let anyone put you in a box, restricting your potential. >> David's giant was goliath. What/how's your giant? Exams? Test? Projects? Work?
Principle 2 - Perfect your strategy. (a) Identify your giant. (b) Choose & Identify your strategy to take on this giant. (c) Know exactly what you are doing, know exactly what you wanna do. (d) Refine your strategy. (e) Master your strategy. > If your giant is exams, then how are you gonna work at it to defeat it? Prepare well for it! Plan the steps you will take and master this exam tip for the actual exam.
Acknowledge your failures and work on them. Do not let this little failures bring you down. Because each failure is a step to success.
Thomas Edison once said: I tried 999 times only to find success. He did not say: I failed 999 times. > Failing to prepare is preparing to fail.
Principle 3 - Know how BIG our God is! > Stop talking to God how big your problem is. Start talking about how big God is. > So build up your faith. Trust in our God, who is the biggest giant.
Jeremiah 33:3 - Call to me and I WILL answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not yet know.
Nothing else matters cos' we have a God who conquered death! What's all these exams, tests, work load to him? If your faith is bigger than your problems, your giants can fall today!
