What's Your Starting Point

Where you start has a great deal of bearing on where you finish.

Goliath started his day at the point of defiance. He came to defy God and his army. He ended his day, lying on the ground with David looking down on him. Defiance destroyed him.

Saul started his day in fear. He was dismayed by the giant. By the end of the day, he was no longer afraid of the giant; instead, he was afraid of David. He lost his future to fear.

David started his day in faith. He believed God could help him defeat the giant. And, he was right. He ended his day with the giant's sword in one hand and the giant's head in the other.

Where you start has a great deal of bearing on where you finish.
