Halfway Mark for Malaysian Juniors in WYCC

With 5 more rounds left, Malaysian players really needs to keep up their spirit high as some of the Malaysian are still in the medal contention. As you noticed, I posted a post on David Vs Goliath. Here are some motivations for the juniors. FIGHT THE LAST 5 ROUNDS! MALAYSIA BOLEH!

• Why did they wait forty days to begin the battle? Probably for several reasons. Everyone was afraid of Goliath. He seemed invincible. Not even King Saul, the tallest man in Israel, had stepped out to fight. Also, the sides of the valley were very steep. Whoever made the first move would have a strong disadvantage and probably suffer great loss. Both sides were waiting for the other to attack first.

SHOW NO FEAR & HAVE NO MERCY ON YOUR OPPONENTS! 

• David chose not to wear the King's armor because it felt cumbersome and unfamiliar. David was comfortable with his simple slingshot, a weapon he was skilled at using. God will use the unique skills he's already placed in your hands, so don't worry about "wearing the King's armor." Just be yourself and use the familiar gifts and talents God has given you. He will work miracles through you.

PLAY TO WHAT YOU KNOW! USE TACTICS! SET TRAP!

• David's faith in God caused him to look at the giant from a different perspective. Goliath was merely a mortal man defying an all-powerful God. David looked at the battle from God's point of view. If we look at giant problems and impossible situations from God's perspective, we realize that God will fight for us and with us. When we put things in proper perspective, we see more clearly and we can fight more effectively.

BE CLEAR TO YOUR PLAN & OBJECTIVES IN THE GAME!

• When the giant criticized, insulted and threatened, David didn't stop or even waver. Everyone else cowered in fear, but David ran to the battle. He knew that action needed to be taken. David did the right thing in spite of discouraging insults and fearful threats. Only God's opinion mattered to David.

HAVE CONFIDENCE IN YOUR ABILITY & BELIEVE IN YOURSELF! STRIKE TO THE HEART OF YOUR OPPONENT!
