MISSION TO DISCOVER

I discovered that life responsibilities are ways to discover the strength in us. And this tells that a man whom God will use to do extraordinary things in life must start to accept life responsibilities pushed to him by God. David keeping his father's sheep in the wilderness never knew he was on a mission to discover his strength, until he had an encounter with a bear and killed it. What about Jacob? Jacob did not discover his strength, until he had an all night wrestle with God and prevailed. God had to grab his hip out of joint to show him that he is the ALMIGHTY. That day Jacob was blessed.
The truth is this: you need to reduce your diet to know how much you can fast, you need to separate yourself from family to know how much you can be independent, you need to stop seeking words from pastors to know much you can hear God by yourself, you need to go through some rough processes of life to know how much rugged the God in you is. You need to start taking certain responsibilities for your life. You need to start fighting some bears in the wilderness of life to discover that you can kill a Goliath.
David told Saul that he could kill Goliath because he once killed a bear when he was keeping his father's sheep in the wilderness. David would have not discovered this, if he had not been accepting some responsibilities of life like keeping his father's sheep in the forest.
Whenever you are presented with life responsibilities and confronted with challenges of life, you are actually on a mission to discover your strength. You are on a mission to discover yourself and the God in you-how big He is. Peter was already on a mission to discover his strength by walking on the sea, until his heart fainted from this responsibility of choosing to be like Jesus. Job was on a mission to discover his strength(how much he could suffer to serve God) and how much God loved him when troubles started befalling all that he had.
DON'T FAINT IN THE FIGHT, YOU ARE ON A MISSION TO DISCOVER.
