  1. We are neighbors today at Crystals! I came ove to comment on your post-LOVE IT- and found your link up!
    Thanks for hosting. And, I love your post.

  2. I loved this post and the title was fabulous. You have given me lots of food for thought. Sometimes I do face my giants in someone else’s armor and it doesn’t work out to well. I have shared and tweeted. I hope you share this on Friday with Grace & Truth. Thank you!

      1. I have chosen this post to feature this week on Grace & Truth Link-Up. I have pondered all week this post. I realize I am so guilty of trying to get others to wear my armor when they fight their battles. Of course it doesn’t fit them.

        1. Thank you so much Maree!! I’m so glad the post resonated with you! You have blessed me so much!!

  3. This is such an important message! For much of my life, I looked to others to show me how to act and respond to various situations rather than looking to God. It took a crisis of faith for me to recognize who Christ is for ME, and that He is the only One I should look to. Thank you for this post!

  4. What a great insight into this passage, Diana! I’ve often thought about David not needing Saul’s armor but fully trusting in God’s protection, but never really took it to the level of applying this to me or others. It’s so true that we can feel like we need to use someone else’s strategy (armor) to get something done, when God wants us to fully rely on Him. Thanks for this! Pinned and tweeted!

  5. What an interesting perspective on David and Goliath. So often the focus is in David and Goliath, but a lot can be learned from the interaction between Saul and David. Love the wisdom here.

  6. Wow, I’ve honestly never thought of the story of David and Goliath in this way. Thank you for the reminder that I need to fight with the armor God has designed for me instead of trying to fit into someone else’s!

  7. Really love this! I read it this morning but did not get the chance to comment. God has given us a specific set of skills, insight, and experiences that He needs us to use to fight our individual battles for His glory.

  8. This was a GREAT read! The title swallowed me in like a tornado. I hope to read much more like this. Was one of the best put together pieces I’ve read.

  9. Love this advice. “Are you trying to solve life’s problems and battling the enemy the way someone else advises or the way someone else handled a similar issue, or are you going to God and putting on the only armor you need; the whole armor of God.” Something I tend to forget. The other thing I do is sometimes I try to keep solving the problem in the same way I have done in the past. Yes, the way that didn’t work.
