The Battle Is the Lord's June 15–21 | 1 Samuel 17–18; 24–26; 2 Samuel 5–7 Hey mamas!
This week we're diving into the life of David—and while we often focus on David and Goliath, I discovered something powerful during my study:
Goliath wasn't David's biggest battle.
David faced giants, betrayal, jealousy, waiting, heartbreak, anger, uncertainty, and years of not knowing how his story would unfold. Yet through every chapter, David continued to trust God.
And honestly, that's exactly what motherhood feels like sometimes.
In this episode, we talk about:
✨ David and Goliath: Facing the giants in our own lives
✨ Why David saw God when everyone else saw a giant
✨ The battles that come after the victory
✨ Saul's jealousy and the danger of comparison
✨ Jonathan and the power of covenant friendship
✨ Abigail's wisdom and how she saved David from acting out of anger
✨ Forgiveness, healing, and finding beauty for ashes
✨ Learning to let God fight your battles
✨ What it means to let Christ be the Author and Finisher of your story
Questions to Ponder This Week ❤️ What giant are you facing right now?
❤️ Are you focusing more on the giant or on God?
❤️ Who are the Jonathans in your life?
❤️ Who needs you to be a Jonathan for them?
❤️ Is there a situation where you need to respond more like Abigail?
❤️ What chapter of your story are you trying to control instead of turning over to God?

Whatever giant you are facing, remember:
"I come to thee in the name of the Lord." (1 Samuel 17:45)
David teaches us that faith is not believing the giant isn't real.
Faith is believing that God is bigger.
Favorite Takeaway The battle isn't yours to carry alone.
David trusted God through Goliath.
David trusted God through Saul.
David trusted God through waiting.
David trusted God through uncertainty.
And God never left his side.
The same is true for you.
This Week's Invitation Take one battle, one burden, one giant you're carrying and place it before the Lord.
Pray specifically.
Invite Him into the struggle.
Ask Him to help you see your circumstances through His eyes.
Then take the next faithful step forward and trust Him with the outcome.
Remember, Mama... Maybe your giant isn't standing in a valley holding a spear.
Maybe it's anxiety.
Maybe it's depression.
Maybe it's uncertainty.
Maybe it's a relationship that needs healing.
Maybe it's a child you're praying for.
Maybe it's a chapter you never would have chosen.
But David's story reminds us:
The giant isn't the end.
The waiting isn't the end.
The heartbreak isn't the end.
God is still writing.
Let Him author your story.
Let Him fight your battles.
Let Him bring beauty from your ashes.
Because the same God who led David through giants, Saul, Abigail, and finally to the throne is leading you too.
