Facing the Giants

Richard and I watched the movie Facing the Giants for the second time. As we sat there, I began to remember what it was about. This couple that was struggling in many area's of life. One of them was with infertility. I remember relating so well with them when we had watched it before. Tears formed in my eyes through out this movie. God's grace and redemption was protrayed so well.

One of the scenes in this movie, the football team had lost the game that would have gotten them into the state play offs. They walked off the field and into change they're gear with such disappointment. When the coach walked in, he told them that they had played a good game. That they had done a good job that season. Then he said, "we praised God when we won and we need to praise God when we don't." The team got on they're knees and began to praise the Lord.

Wow, this really spoke to me. I need to praise the Lord in all situations. Even when it is hard. The Lord deserves our praise at all times and in all situations. I have felt like this team alot lately. It is defeat that I feel. The Lord does not want me to be defeated. He wants to use me for the greater good. I want to be used for the greater good!

Dear Heavenly Father,

Thank you so much for speaking to me. Something that I am learning is that you can use all things to speak to us as long as we listen. Facing the Giants is a true story of your love and how you meet all of our needs as long as we are willing. Lord, I am willing. I want to face the giants in my life. I love you with all of my heart and want you to use me. Lord, I ask again that you heal the pain in my heart. I pray for your comfort and I praise you for who you are and what you are doing in my life.

In Jesus Name,

Amen
