This morning in church, my pastor preached on David and Goliath (1 Samuel 17), and it stirred something in me that I want to share with you all this week. David was the youngest son, a shepherd boy, not a warrior.
Yet when Goliath challenged the armies of Israel day after day, David didn’t quit — he stepped up with the confidence God had equipped him for the battle. He trusted the gifts and training God had already given him, and the giant fell.
What stood out most was this: Never give up on what God has called you to do. Don’t stop because others doubt you. Don’t stop because the mountain looks big. God already equipped you for the mission He gave you. He didn’t bring you this far to make you quit.
My pastor — who is also a business owner — told this story: There was a challenge where someone was given an opportunity to hit a home run for $1 million. No rule said he had to stop hitting — yet many would’ve given up long before that moment because people around them talked, judged, or doubted their ability. That story reminded me that you keep swinging until you win. The rule isn’t to quit — the rule is to keep going until you complete what God asked you to do.
As we go into this week:
Don’t stop.
Don’t quit
Be bold
Keep swinging.
God didn’t call you to start and then walk away — He called you to finish strongly.
Your giant may look big. But God is bigger. Your gift may feel small, but God made it for this moment.
Keep going.
