Before mighty Goliath on the battlefield, the apparent absence of God was the absence of faith. When William Wilberforce saw the Goliath of slavery in his day, he made the choice--as David did in 1 Samuel 17--to step out in faith to seize and create what turned out to be the defining moment of his life. What can you not stand? It's incumbent on us to recognize what battle is worth fighting, and then to choose to step out in faith and move forward in God's almighty name. ( notes)
