Legendary

It is hard to be successful when your parents don't believe in you.  David lived a life such as this where no one believed in him...but God.  When God sent Samuel to find the person to fight Goliath, his parents didn't even think he was important enough to call in from the fields.  When Samuel told his parents that none of his other brothers were the chosen one for this- they didn't even think of David.  They finally said that they couldn't imagine he could be searching for David.  But, as soon as Samuel saw him- he was assured that David was the one.  When David saw Goliath, he was nine feet and six inches tall...and David said, "Hmm...wonder what the person who kills him might get?"  His brothers asked him what he was doing...they didn't believe in him either.  They had no idea he was a man on a mission from God.  Even King Saul said that there was no way he could fight Goliath.  Every person loaded David down with limitations.  No one believed in David.  There was no one there to urge him on... to encourage him...But God.
   Pastor Chris taught this lesson today at church.  He said that the people not doing anything for God are always there to tell you that can't do anything either.  You are only as strong as what it takes to stop you!  Only God was for David!  The only limits that you have are the ones you allow.  Don't try to be someone else.  When you loose your limitations, you help others do the same...the devil wrote the book that said it can't be done...so just tell those people that are limiting you to get out of the way so you can get busy.  Be brave!  Charge Hell with a water pistol!  God will always have your back!"

When God is for you- then who could possibly be against you!
