It's amazing how God will take His time to prepare you for your future.
Today's cluster meeting with Pastor Victor was about how God prepapred David to defeat Goliath.

God didn't equip David for war nor prepare him for it. He was just a youth and a shepard. He did defeat a bear and a lion but that pales in comparision to Goliath who was a champion since his youth.

All David had was a staff and a sling but Goliath was fully clothed in bronze armor, had a spear and a sword and a shield bearer!

And yet David hit him in the head with a small pebble with such force and accuracy that it cracked his skull.

God prepared David for that moment without David knowing it at all. He didn't wake up one day and said to himself " I'll nab me a giant's head today " but he went about his own business and it was his faith in God that gave him the victory.
That victory was David's defining moment.

David wasn't in the limelight at all but God prepapred him for teh future that was to come.

Out of sight, out of limelight, out of everyone's attention.

And that is exactly how God will mold us....He will take His time to fashion us so that we can do what He made us to do. He doesn't want pride and arrogance to ruin what He is readying us for. But when the time comes, God will pour Himself out into us to help us to acheieve whatever goal He has given us so that we can succeed and perform the impossible, not for our own glory but for His.

This sharing from Pastor Victor encouraged me. God has a great plan for us, He knows what we are capable of cos frankly He made us and equipped us since birth.
There are things I wanna do for children's ministry but I'm overwhelmed and beginning to have doubts on how to get it done.

Most importantly is are my dreams what God wants me to do? I just have to seek God..... Moo.
