David and Goliath
Today’s Reading: 1 Samuel 17:1-58
Focal Verse: 1 Samuel 17:37
"Moreover David said, “The LORD, who delivered me from the paw of the lion and from the paw of the bear, He will deliver me from the hand of this Philistine.”
Fee, Fie, Fo, Fum….I smell the blood of an Englishman.” We all thrilled, as in the fairytale, Jack defeated the giant. As children, so much of life seemed gigantic to us, and we loved seeing the “little guy” win.
We’re grown up now, and we still face giants…sickness, death, a hurting child, financial trials, rejection…the list could go on and on. We can have confidence in facing giants just as David did.
Goliath was “bigger than life” and a veteran in battle. David was little, young, and a shepherd. David had something that Goliath didn’t have, though—God. David had the confidence that the same God who delivered him from the lion and bear would once again give him grace…and He did!
But may the God of all grace, who called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you. 1 Peter 5:10
**Let the God of all grace be your confidence against the “giants” you face now just as He has in the past.**
