In the previous devotional, we read 1st Samuel 17 v 16, which told us that Goliath taunted Israel morning and evening. It also tells us that he did it for 40 days.
40 is the number of testing. Jesus was tested 40 days in the wilderness, and Moses 40 years.
God could have sent David to defeat Goliath on DAY ONE ! But He didn`t ! If God doesn`t answer our prayers (concerning the giants we face), on day one, we let panic set in.
But God is in control ! He knew the exact day of the giant`s defeat, and in between, His purposes were being acted out.
Don`t panic !
1st Samuel 17 v 16
“And the Philistine drew near morning and evening, and presented himself forty days.”
