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!
