A Little Giant before God

by Hertz Clyde Dézir


Many people know the marvelous story of David and Goliath -- a tremendous story that clearly testifies the might of God in favor of his chosen people. As a veteran warrior, Goliath had a lot of experience that made him the best intimidator on the enemy’s side. In addition and even more remarkably, the giant was untouchable and invincible by human’s standards.

Obviously the giant threatened the Israelites who were powerless and deeply terrified before him. "On hearing [his] words, Saul and all the Israelites were dismayed and terrified." (1 Samuel 17:11 -- NIV) Apparently, the Israelites found themselves in a desperate situation -- humanly speaking at least. Despite the terror of the enemy, David said to King Saul '"Let no one lose heart [...]"' And he meant it.
Then David said to Goliath, '"You come against me with sword and spear and javelin, but I come against you in the name of the LORD Almighty [...] There whole world will know that there is a God in Israel. [...] it is not by sword or spear that the LORD saves; for the battle is the LORD's [...] (1 Samuel 17:47-47 NIV).

You know the end of the story; the LORD gave victory to his people.

When facing with unbearable trials, don't lose heart even though our natural tendency compels us to do the opposite. In fact, face the trials in the name of the LORD Almighty rather than isolating yourself and leaning on your limited abilities.

As you read these thoughts, take the opportunity you have today to accept Jesus as your personal savior before it's too late.

Lè Bondye Fin Reponn Priyè ...

Hertz Clyde Dézir
Bondye te reponn priyè Ana lè Ana te priye pou mande Bondye yon pitit gason. Sa Bondye te fè pou dam sa a te vle di anpil bagay paske non sèlman l pa t ka fè pitit men matlòt li t ap pede moke l.


Ana pa t engra devan Bondye apre Bondye te fin reponn priyè l, e li pa t bliye ve l te fè a Bondye non plis. Ou konn rès istwa a.

Alò pou manifeste kontantman l, Ana te di kèk bè pawòl pou temwaye sa Bondye te fè pou li. Men ti moso nan sa Ana te di :

Seyè a fè kè m' kontan anpil! Seyè a remoute kouraj mwen. M'ap kenbe tèt ak lènmi yo. Kè m' kontan paske Bondye delivre mwen.

Pa gen Bondye tankou Seyè a. Non, pa gen tankou l'. Pa gen moun ki ka pwoteje tankou Bondye nou an.

Sispann pale avèk lògèy. Pa kite pawòl radiyès soti nan bouch nou. Paske Seyè a se yon Bondye ki konnen tout bagay…

Fanm ki pa t' ka fè pitit la fè pitit sèt fwa. Sa ki te gen anpil pitit la rete san anyen…  (1 Samyèl 2:1-5)

Dapre egzanp Ana bay nan pasaj sa a, lè Bondye fin reponn priyè yon moun, li bon pou moun sa a tounen vin di Bondye mèsi avèk yon kè ranpli ak rekonesans.
