GOLIATH WITH THE GOLDEN FEET
Opportunities do not come with their values stamped upon them. Every one must be challenged. A day, dawns, quite like other days; in it a single hour comes, quite like other hours; but in that day and in that hour the chance of a lifetime faces us. The face every opportunity of life thoughtfully and ask its meaning bravely and earnestly, is the only one and only way to meet the supreme opportunities when they come, whether open-faced or disguised.
You may never be able to explore all these potential opportunities if all you see are the challenges involved. Your challenge can be a stepping stone if you climb courageously and can as well be a stumbling block if you are afraid to climb. A very close friend once told me that his mum tells him that if the devil is not bothered about you then you have nothing to offer, it means he (devil) already has you. It simply means the devil has already defeated you and thus you are not of interest to him.

*Graphical Expression of
Opportunity and Challenges
Biblical Examples people challenged of Goliath with the Golden Feet
DAVID
When
others were seeing the great Philistine, David saw an opportunity- to be
rewarded by the king (1 Samuel 17:24-27). The king would not have probably needed
to make anyone wealthy and a son-in-law if not for the challenged faced by the
land.
CALEB
When
the other spies saw themselves as grasshopper (Numbers 13:33) that will be devoured
by the Amalekites, Caleb saw the milk and honey in the land and how
fruitful the land is.
What is Common to David and Caleb?
They
both did not see their abilities, strength, knowledge and experience.
What
they saw was God’s promises and
abilities.
Lessons
You
cannot defeat the Goliath alone, you need God.
Every
Goliath has a Golden Feet. Don’t look at the face, Focus on the feet.
Your
challenge is a stepping stone and not a stumbling block, Climb it.
Be Blessed
