The Goliath Formula

There are so many wonderful stories in the Bible. Stories that, though written long ago, are still relevant today. We can find humor, grief, joy, adventure, as well as, the miraculous throughout the Word of God. Today, as we consider one such story, I want you to open your minds with me and visualize this exciting day in the life of a shepherd boy.

David was a believer in God. He never wavered from that stand even in the midst of his greatest trials. Hint...lesson one today. If there’s one thing we can learn from David is to stay faithful. He woke up on Goliath day and had no idea what lie in front of him, yet when the time came he was prepared because of his faith and trust in God.

David declared his faith in God. Hint...lesson two today. He was not afraid to speak boldly about his belief and trust in God. At every turn in this incredulous event, David spoke boldly and with confidence in Lord his God. Hint...sub lesson for today. He spoke boldly to not only the enemy of God, but also to believers who were afraid and less trustful. Sometimes we will have to face up to those closest to us when we know God is leading us.

David was confident because of his faith in God. Hint...lesson three today. Though the enemy was stronger, larger, and more battle tested that David. Yet David never once stopped moving toward him except to pick up a few stones. His mission was clear and he never wavered. Without any armor on and with only a slingshot and 5 smooth stones David approached the enemy. His mightiest weapon was unseen but clearly heard when David declared “You come against me with sword and spear and javelin, but I come against you in the name of the Lord Almighty....1 Samuel 17:45 Visit the story and read for yourself...what an incredible victory.

You will note as I did that with God there is no enemy who can stand against us...believe, declare, and move forward confidently and you too will be victorious in any battle you face in this life. It excites me to know we have that same power that David had through our relationship with Jesus Christ...and all God’s children said....Amen!
