Have You Killed a Dragon Lately?

Part #2: It’s Significant

I really liked the movie, How to Train Your Dragon. It was a great script and just plain fun to watch. Too bad we do not have dragons today—it would make those evolutionists rethink their outdated theory.

We all know the theory of evolution has been loosing its academic strength and popularity among the masses and intellectual community. It just cannot stand up against scrutiny and scientific evidence. I am always amazed how lies can manipulate people’s thinking and belief systems. Satan is the father of lies and he is good at it, but in the end, a lie is a lie and it’s best to use truth against all untruths.

Oops, let get back on track—dragons. Have you killed any lately? I suppose if dragons were in Old Testament times, David would have had to kill his fair share of the bad dragons (We never kill good dragons, do we?). David had his share of lions, bears, and giants to destroy. These evil opponents were killing sheep abd people.

A neighbor killed a black bear this week on his property, about a ½ mile from our ranch. I do not like killing bears. This particular black bear spent some time on my ranch growing up. He was playful and always getting into trouble. My dogs kept him away, and I did not mind him climbing over my fences even though my horses were always up set with him when he was in their stable area drinking water.

Today, we still have giants to kill. We have choices when approached by giants. Like David, you can either pick up the challenge or run. Here are your choices?

1. You ignore the giant—out of sight, out of mind—you do not care.

2. You see the giant, you get scared, and because of fear you do nothing.

3. You want to do something but leave it up to others—you give verbal support.

4. You tell others I will fight the giant but when they ridicule you and tell you, you’re not welcome—you leave.

5. You decide to fight but are looking for armor or ground support from others—nothing fits or is adequate—you give up.

6. You decide to fight on your own, now you are in real trouble! ‘What have I done’, you say to yourself and begin to have second thoughts.

7. You allow God to give you ammo to fight the giant and you run to meet Christ that is standing behind the giant you are about to fight.

Yes, it takes courage to fight and destroy the works of the devil. But, God does not call those who are frightened but those who see the vision—another giant slain.

Next time you come across a dragon or giant that challenges the people of God or truths that stand the test of time, remember a simple promise: “It is not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, says the Lord.”

Lord, give me a giant to slay today!
