God is bigger than the giants. Resist them so that all the earth may know that there is a God, and she is stirring up something new again. Fight with humility, praise, and gratitude for the love that made you, the love that equips you, and the love that is our stronghold.

#5 The battle belongs to God. David is clear that he isn't facing Goliath alone. His confidence is rooted in faith. We also carry the subversive power of God’s love with us. We don’t need more muscles than the giants, but more hope. We don’t need bigger weapons than them, but more conviction.

#4 You won't beat giants by becoming them. God doesn't save by the sword, God empowers the humble, meek, and righteous. If we want to beat giants, we must be their opposite. We can’t stand alone, but must stand together. We can’t harass and heckle our enemies, but must defend our neighbor’s dignity.

#3 Giants underestimate the little things. Goliath either doesn't know how to dodge, or doesn't think he needs to. A pebble kills him before he can raise his sword. Small things beat giants. Do small actions with great love for humanity. That is a strength that giants will never possess.

#2 Use the strengths you have. Saul doubts David's abilities, but David’s response is basically "I’ve faced worse things and won.” Don't let anyone belittle your gifts. You don't need armor or weapons that aren't yours. Take down giants using the skills you've already sharpened. You are equipped!

#1 Face the giants. This seems obvious but remember that Goliath terrorized them for 40 days without having to fight anyone. He just has to be scary enough that they stay in their tents. They listen to him and are terrorized into non-action. Don’t give giants the luxury of going unresisted.

All our ancestors dealt with impossible giants too. Many impossible things have been accomplished already. I'm an ordained woman only because of the people who faced impossible things before me. So I’m going to share five smooth stones from this story that might help us to beat our giants now.

The story of David and Goliath is about how to beat giants. It spells out the truth, “the bigger they are, the harder they fall.” It's about overcoming the impossible, and standing up against things that are terrifying, because we don’t have the option of living in a world without giants. Not yet.

How are we coping today? I’m painting a shelf and watching Bo Burnhams inside for the vibes.

Remember their goal is to terrorize us. And social media is a fantastic way to spread terror. We don’t have to help them.
