Our reading for today is Matthew 19:26.
“With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”
Some words sound too big to be true—until you remember who said them. Jesus wasn’t speaking theory. He was speaking with certainty.
Young David knew this certainty. He walked onto a battlefield where Israel trembled before a giant. The boy heard the roar of Goliath, but he also remembered the whisper of God. King Saul told him he was too small, too young, too inexperienced. But David wasn’t listening to Saul’s opinion—he was remembering God’s record.
“When a lion or a bear came and took a lamb,” David told the king, “I went after it… struck it… and killed it.” He didn’t brag on his skill. He was bragging on his God. If God had been with him against a bear, why not a giant?
That’s how faith works. One victory at a time. Before you face a giant, face the bear. Before the bear, face the wolf. Before the wolf, face the mouse. Small victories prepare you for large battles.
So don’t despise the little tests. Win them with God, and you’ll be ready when the giant steps out. When you’re ready, you’ll find that God has been ready all along.
