When Saul allowed David to go fight Goliath, I imagine him taking many deep breaths, perhaps hyperventilating and wondering if he'd actually just handed his own head to the enemy.

Who can you give authority to, so they can be [further]empowered to do Gods will?!?

When David went to face Goliath, he stripped off the armour that the King gave him, so that he could fight his own way; so that he could fight the way God had trained him to fight.

Where is God stripping away your armour so you, too, can fight His way?!?

As we face up to another house move, I miss the home we owned, that we sold so we can live by faith - over 15 years ago.

It was a huge piece of armour! And yet, we have fought many battles, since, that that piece of armour would have prevented us from fighting.

So, where is God stripping away the armour you value - so you can fight God's way, in the way He has already trained you?

PS Philippians 4 v 10 and 13 fit in well here too!
