No weapon is quite so debilitating as fear. And, all too often, it is a weapon we point at ourselves. We let our minds turn our opponents into fearsome and unconquerable giants, and then we scurry to hide under very real beds. The fear of those giants becomes an excuse for inaction.

As anyone who has been around me long knows, I love the story of David and Goliath and everything around it. I draw constant inspiration from David confronting a very real giant by relying on God. The result, of course, was victory.
