Goliath Must Fall: Winning the Battle Against Your Giants

by Louie Giglio

The sound of a single bad voice had shut down the Israelites. Can you relate? They’d lost the fight, and they hadn’t even gone to battle yet.

Yet we have just settled for comfort, and the comfort ends up doing us in. Our abundant life on earth and our eternal reward in heaven aren’t robbed by the “bad” stuff. Our chance for a meaningful life and a happy forever is robbed by comfort.

Somehow as a people of God, if we’re not careful, we can sing songs about the uncomfortable moment of Jesus while we live in the very comfortable moment of us. Thank you, Jesus—you took it all. But we forget what it truly means to identify with Christ.

Life is short, and I don’t have enough time to have a complacent heart.”
