“The Lord who rescued me from the claws of the lion and the bear will rescue me from this Philistine!” (1 Samuel 17:37 NLT)
David’s decision to face Goliath in single combat seemed stupid to those around him. Goliath was a giant warrior in full armor. David was not. He did not measure up in size, skill, resources, or experience. How could David face this giant? Was he not afraid?
Goliath was physically strong, but David’s strength came from the potency of his faith. From previous experience, David knew that God was dependable. He showed up in the arena expecting the Lord to be there with him. Like David, we can courageously face difficulties instead of cowering in fear. Boldness of spirit has nothing to do with size. Trust in the Lord. Persist in prayer. Count on God.
Be Brave
Be Strong
Don’t Give Up
Expect God.
Psalm 31:24
