God continues to show His might power through using the
seemingly weak among us! First, the
walls of Jericho fell by shouting and loud instruments. Then, Gideon’s small army of just a few
hundred me conquered the enemy in the thousands. And now, tonight, we learned of a small
shepherd boy named David who defeated a giant man named Goliath with just a
sling and a stone. Read about this
exciting account in 1 Samuel chapter 17.
There were many voices telling David that he was no match for the giant,
but David knew that God was with him and that God had trained him as a shepherd
to defend his flock from many bad things.
David was most empowered as he stated “ I have come to you in the name
of the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel”
and he went on to say “ for the battle is the Lord’s” -
today the battle is still the Lord’s and with Him we will prevail. If David would have not defeated the giant,
the nation of Israel would have been under the Philistine’s control. David saved them from that bondage. David later because the king of Israel and wrote
many of the psalms in the Bible. But
even more amazing, this little shepherd boy was in the lineage of Jesus Christ
the Messiah – our Savior, our King and Greatest Defender. Jesus Christ saves us from the bondage of our
sin as we see David saved his people from the bondage of the enemy.
