1 Sam 17:32 (ESV) David said to Saul, “Let no man’s heart fail because of him. Your servant will go & fight with this Philistine.” 1 Sam 17:40 Then he took his staff in his hand & chose five smooth stones from the brook & put them in his shepherd’s pouch. His sling was in his hand, & he approached the Philistine. 1 Sam 17:46 This day the LORD will deliver you into my hand, & I will strike you down & cut off your head. & I will give the dead bodies of the host of the Philistines this day to the birds of the air & to the wild beasts of the earth, that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel. — If you have ever felt as though the odds are stacked against you, well you aren’t alone. Gods army was afraid to face the Philistines because of the giants in the land, but God sends a 17-year-old shepherd boy to fight Goliath! The armor wouldn’t even fit him, but David had a sling shot with 5 stones! Sometimes God uses the things that we don’t even consider to bring down our obstacles! The key is don’t fear! We must be fearless like David to overcome our battles. We must have faith in God & believe that He will help us! And always remember, Never ever give up on God! With God, all giants fall one way or another! Love Mel
