Listen and make your own on Suno.

When you’re staring down a giant, our natural instinct is to calculate our own strength. We measure our resources against the size of the threat and quickly conclude we're outmatched. That’s where the story of David and Goliath shifts from history to our present reality. Standing before the Philistine champion, David didn't boast in his own marksmanship, he declared, “The battle is the Lord’s” (1 Samuel 17:47).

David understood a secret - when God is the one fighting, the size of the giant is irrelevant. Goliath relied on armor, bronze, and brute force (visible weapons of the world), while David relied on the unseen sovereignty of God.

Your job isn't to be stronger than your circumstances, it's to be surrendered to the One who is. Whatever giant is taunting you today, remember: you aren’t fighting for victory - you’re fighting from it. Step onto the field, take your stand, and watch as the Lord turns your greatest threat into a platform for His glory. The battle is the Lord's.

"Even here — God is still in control."
— Jonah 1:17

In the belly of the whale. In the consequence of running. In the place that has no visible exit and no natural explanation for how you got here.

Even here.

God does not lose control when you lose your way. His sovereignty does not diminish when you step outside His will. His ability to use, redirect, and ultimately complete what He started in you is not limited by the detour you took to get to your current location.

Even here. Even now. Even this.

He is still in control.

from the Spokane Police Department. The Spokane Police Department is reminding the public that entering fire damaged homes without permission and taking property is a crime.

The Spokane Police Department is aware of reports of people entering fire-damaged homes and taking property without permission. This is not scavenging or salvaging. It is a crime, and SPD will treat it as such.

A home does not become abandoned because it has been damaged by fire. The property that remains still belongs to someone. Entering a home without permission may be trespassing or burglary. Taking property that does not belong to you is theft. Those who do so may be arrested and referred for prosecution.

Fire survivors have already suffered significant loss. Items that remain may have financial or personal value. Do not add to that loss by taking what is not yours.
SPD will continue patrolling affected neighborhoods and investigating reports of theft. If you see someone entering a fire-damaged home or removing property without permission, contact law enforcement and provide the location, a description of the people involved, and vehicle information if available.

The message is simple: These homes and belongings have owners. Respect their property. The law still applies.
