"When Eliab, David's oldest brother, heard him speaking with the men, he burned with anger at him and asked 'Why have you come down here? And with whom did you leave those few sheep in the desert? I know how conceited you are and how wicked your heart is; you came down only to watch the battle.'
'Now what have I done?' said David. 'Can't I even speak?' He then turned away to someone else and brought up the same matter..."' - 1 Samuel 17:28-30
If David had listened to his brother Eliab, he would not have killed the giant, and he may never have become king. While anticipating the birth of our DESTINY, we must endeavor to turn away from the opinions of man and heed the voice of God. God promised David the crown of Israel, but he was virtually unknown until he fought and killed Goliath. It was through this step of faith that God made his name known. God gave him a platform by which he would eventually be made king and fulfill his destiny. Every step of faith and every act of obedience to God will get us one step closer to our DESTINY in Him. If David had not stepped out in faith here, he might not have sat on the throne of Israel.
What is the Goliath in your life today? What is God asking you to do? No matter what it is, be ready for the voice of the accuser to say you cannot do it. He wants to stop your DESTINY. Don't let him do it! When the enemy tries to discourage you, be encouraged by it. He would not waste his time trying to discourage you unless he actually thought you would fulfill your DESTINY in God.
PRAYER:
Dear Father, help me to hear Your voice and not the voice of the accuser. Change my vision. Help me see myself the way You do. Allow me to see others in light of Your grace, and help me see Your PURPOSE for my life and my DESTINY in Christ Jesus. Amen
