God'S Stones In Facing Life's Giants

Today is Baccalaureate Sunday. We celebrate the great work God is doing in the lives of our graduates and mark this milestone as they embark on a new chapter in their life’s journey. As we remember the milestones and graduations we experienced, we did not know all that God had for us in the ups and downs yet to unfold. When we look back we can see God’s hand was on our lives doing a great work. So it is important to notice God at work in the lives of our children. You don’t have to be an adult to have a meaningful relationship with God and for God to use you in powerful ways. In the biblical account of David, a teenage boy, and Goliath, a giant, God is doing a great work. Similarly, we face intimidating giants in our relationships, finances, mental or physical health, employment, or any other area that cause worry or stress. Our children and youth face giants also, including school work and grades, bullies, friendship issues, and the stresses of growing up. Giants are all around us, but God is also all around us. Let’s explore how God uses tangible and intangible stones to do a great work in a battle facing the intimidating giants in our lives.
