Giant Davids

We shall steer safely through every storm,
so long as our heart is right,
our intention fervent,
our courage steadfast,
and our trust fixed firmly on God.

St. Francis de Sales

We are humbled that we may be exalted. When faced with a Goliath, our weeness is highlighted, the sling and stone we possess melt before the iron shield and sword, our humble protection fade before the grand armory of the giants we face. Yet, we are not discouraged. We continue the battle we have started. We do so because we intiated the challenge. We fight on knowing that in our awareness of our lack, the Lord will fill us with the grace we need to win the battle. Just think about the many battles in life you have won and you will be convinced that in our humility we are exalted.
