Crosspoint Community Church Weekly Devotional | June 15, 2025
Day 1: Recognizing the Giants
Scripture: 1 Samuel 17:4-11
Reflection: In the story of David and Goliath, the Israelites faced a literal giant who taunted them daily. In our lives, giants can take many forms—fear, doubt, sin, or societal pressures. Recognizing these giants is the first step in overcoming them. What are the giants in your life that you have been avoiding or ignoring?
Prayer: Lord, open my eyes to see the giants in my life. Give me the courage to face them, knowing that You are with me. Help me to trust in Your strength rather than my own.
Day 2: The Courage to Stand
Scripture: 1 Samuel 17:32-37
Reflection: David’s courage came not from his own strength but from his faith in God. He remembered past victories that God had given him over the lion and the bear. Reflect on the times God has been faithful in your life. How can these memories give you courage to face current challenges?
Prayer: Father, remind me of Your past faithfulness. Strengthen my heart to stand firm in the face of adversity, knowing that You have equipped me for the battles I face.
Day 3: Using Your Unique Gifts
Scripture: 1 Samuel 17:38-40
Reflection: David chose not to wear Saul’s armor because it didn’t fit him. Instead, he used the tools he was familiar with—a sling and stones. God has given each of us unique gifts and talents. Are you trying to fight your battles with someone else’s armor, or are you using what God has uniquely equipped you with?
Prayer: Lord, thank You for the unique gifts and talents You have given me. Help me to use them wisely and confidently in the battles I face. Teach me to trust in the way You have made me.
Day 4: The Battle Belongs to the Lord
Scripture: 1 Samuel 17:45-47
Reflection: David declared that the battle was the Lord’s. This perspective shifted the focus from his own abilities to God’s power. In what areas of your life do you need to relinquish control and trust that the battle belongs to God?
Prayer: Almighty God, I surrender my battles to You. Help me to trust that You are fighting for me and that victory is found in Your strength, not mine.
Day 5: Leaving a Legacy of Faith
Scripture: 1 Samuel 17:50-52
Reflection: David’s victory over Goliath inspired the entire Israelite army to pursue the Philistines. Our acts of faith and courage can inspire others to trust in God. What legacy of faith are you leaving for your family and community?
Prayer: Heavenly Father, may my life be a testament to Your power and faithfulness. Help me to leave a legacy of faith that inspires others to trust in You and to stand courageously in their own battles.
