“Then David said to Saul, ‘Let no man’s heart fail because of him; your servant will go and fight with this Philistine.’
“And Saul said to David, ‘You are not able to go against this Philistine to fight with him; for you are a youth, and he a man of war from his youth. …’
“Moreover David said, ‘The Lord, who delivered me from the paw of the lion and from the paw of the bear, He will deliver me from the hand of this Philistine.’ And Saul said to David, ‘Go, and the Lord be with you!’ ” 1 Samuel 17:32, 33, and 37
We all know the outcome of that battle.
“ ‘You come to me with a sword, with a spear, and with a javelin. But I come to you in the name of the Lord of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied. This day the Lord will deliver you into my hand, and I will strike you and take your head from you. And this day I will give the carcasses of the camp of the Philistines to the birds of the air and the wild beasts of the earth, that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel.’ ” Verses 45, 46
We all know the outcome of that battle—a young boy, a slingshot, a stone, and a confident reliance on God that could not be swayed by size, force, or violence.
Sometimes we have troubles. The Bible says that we will. And sometimes they feel like giant troubles, too big for us to handle. But just as Goliath was no match for David and his reliance on God, your giant troubles can be overcome when you place your full reliance upon God.
God does not always remove our giants, but He does promise to always help us overcome them.
Corrie ten Boom tells of a time when she and her sister Betsie—imprisoned in a German concentration camp for hiding Jews in their home—had been thrown into a pit. While in this pit, Corrie remarked that the pit was very deep. Betsie replied, “There is no pit so deep that He is not deeper still.”

It doesn’t matter how deeply you have sunk in sin; how big your debts might be; what personal hell you may be living in, if you want Jesus Christ in your life, if you want to have complete confidence that He always keeps His promise to help you, He will be there for you.
No mountain is so high but God is higher still; nowhere so deep but God is deeper still.
“Come to God just as you are, and let Him heal all your infirmities. Press your case to the throne of grace; let the work be thorough. Be sincere in dealing with God and your own soul. If you come to Him with a heart truly contrite, He will give you the victory.” God’s Amazing Grace, 87
