"I can do all things through Him who strengthens me." - Philippians 4:13
Do you ever wonder why certain people rise to meet a great challenge and others don't? Have you heard the story of David and Goliath?
If ever there was a giant challenge, David found it in Goliath, a hardened warrior who was nine-and-a-half-feet tall and filled his enemies with terror. Yet David, just a teenage shepherd, was willing to take him on. His people thought he was crazy but he had faith in the Lord and remembered how God had strengthened him in the past.
He said, "When a lion or bear came and took a lamb from my flock, I went after it and struck the beast and killed it. The Lord who delivered me from the power of the lion and the bear will deliver me from this giant."
And He did. David slew Goliath. He faced a giant challenge and was victorious because he had been faithful day by day.
When the big public challenges come, we'll be ready if we're faithful to God in the various behind-the-scenes daily tasks. It's the faithfulness in the small things that is key to meeting life's giant challenges victoriously.

Yes, report it NevermindI just got off of a flight from Atlanta back to my worksite in Miami. I sat next to a young naval seabee officer on his way to Haiti. He was telling me of all the "regular folks" that are there from all walks of life. While most were from Christian relief groups, they weren't focused on prostletizing, but rather helping by doing what they each can in this disaster of human suffering. Sometimes courage is nothing more than getting outside of your comfort zone. I was humbled by what he told me.
