Judges: Gideon, Anointed to Lead

The constant companion of destiny is doubt and distraction. Before David could face the giant, he had to face much opposition from those who weren't in the fight. We will look at the 3 attacks from the enemy that we will all face when we choose to live out God's call on our lives.

David approached the battle with Goliath through a heart of faith and not fear. He measured the giant through the size of hls God and not God through the size of the giant.  He realized this enemy in front of him was not an obstacle but an opportunity to fulfill the destiny God had on his life. The challenges of life are not meant to destroy us but to reveal God's power through our lives.

Being anointed we must develop the gifts that God has given to us. Often times we want the benefit of the gift without putting in the work to develop it. David was faithful in pursuing his gifts in the secret place so that when it was time God would use his talent and put him at use in the palace.
