I am a real bastard. I am not trying to be vulgar... by the technical definition it is true. My parents were not married when I was born. Later they would marry and divorce. My grandparents on both sides had some serious skeletons in the closet. I have hairy ears and high cholesterol. Why am I telling you this? These are the things I could use as excuses in life. I could try and justify all my failures by summing up the negatives in my history. But, then I am choosing to be defined by these things (to be these things). However, I could choose to respond differently to these things. They are stepping stones to help me rise above. These are the challenges that make me an overcomer.
On Friday the 13th of April we will take a look into the life of David. What does it take to be a giant-killer? Well, you might be surprised at his family history. David had every reason to fail in life. Instead, he excelled beyond his station. At the hear of this story is the redeeming power of God who makes shepherds into kings and scrawny boys into giant killers.
