The challenges we face in our daily lives often cause us to feel as if we're on an "emotional rollercoaster." Our feelings hijack our sense of well-being and decision-making, often leaving us unaware of the impact this has on both ourselves and those around us. We must learn to acknowledge our emotional nature and navigate our feelings in alignment with God's design. Through David's encounter with Goliath, we learn that through faith that we can face our fears and challenges. David's authenticity, reliance on God, and willingness to confront his giant in his own skin aren't examples of fearlessness, but rather serve as a reflection of David's faith and confidence in God to provide and care for him in the face of overwhelming odds. David wasn't fearless, but rather because of his faith, he feared less.
