5-Day Devotional - Day Four

Divine Doors: Part Two
Pastor Paul Stieb

Day 4: Favor in the Face of Giants Devotional We all face giants in life. Maybe yours is a health crisis, financial struggle, relationship conflict, or career obstacle. Whatever your giant, God's favor provides the supernatural advantage you need to face it with confidence. David didn't defeat Goliath because he was the strongest warrior. He prevailed because he knew the favor of God was on his life. This divine favor gave him courage to step onto the battlefield when seasoned soldiers wouldn't. It gave him wisdom to use his unique skills rather than Saul's armor. It guided his stone to the perfect spot on Goliath's forehead. God's favor doesn't always remove our giants. Sometimes it equips us to face them. It provides resources we didn't know we had, connections we couldn't have planned, and strength beyond our natural abilities. Instead of focusing on the size of your giant, focus on the magnitude of God's favor on your life. Like David, you can walk into your battlefield with confidence, knowing divine favor gives you an advantage your giant doesn't have. Bible Verse "For whoever finds Me finds life and receives favor from the Lord." - Proverbs 8:35 Reflection Question What giant are you facing, and how might God's favor be working to give you victory, even when you can't see it yet? Quote "David knew when he stepped out in faith, he had God backing him up. He knew he had the favor of God on his life." Prayer God, thank You for Your favor that works even in impossible situations. Help me focus less on my giants and more on Your power working through me. I trust Your favor is giving me an advantage, even when I can't see it. In Jesus' name, amen.
