1 Samuel 17: 1-58; David and Goliath

Grace and peace to you from our Lord Jesus Christ.

"LORD who delivered me from the paw of the lion and the paw of the bear will deliver me from the hand of this Philistine." This is what you might call an insurmountable force. David, just a boy, going against a grown man who just so happens to be 9 feet tall. Goliath had his doubts that this boy could defeat him, and I'm sure all of Israel was probably thinking the same thing. But David had faith. He knew that the Lord would deliver him. Just as the Lord delivered him from the lion and bear, David knew that the Lord would deliver him from Goliath. David had great faith, and by his faith he was able to defeat Goliath. By our faith we can do great things. The letter to the Hebrews tells us as much. If we have strong faith in God he will deliver us from our bears and our lions (and tigers, I guess). Trust in the Lord, and he will deliver you. God bless you,

Pastor Josh
