1 Samuel 17:38-58
David asked the men standing near him, “What will be done for the man who kills this Philistine and removes this disgrace from Israel? Who is this uncircumcised Philistine that he should defy the armies of the living God?”
When Eliab, David’s oldest brother, heard him speaking with the men, he burned with anger at him and asked, I know how conceited you are and how wicked your heart is; you came down only to watch the battle.
Now what have I done?” said David. “Can’t I even speak?” He then turned away to someone else and brought up the same matter, and the men answered him as before. What David said was overheard and reported to Saul, and Saul sent for him.
David said to the Philistine, “You come against me with sword and spear and javelin, but I come against you in the name of the Lord Almighty, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied. This day the Lord will deliver you into my hands, and I’ll strike you down and cut off your head.
As the Philistine moved closer to attack him, David ran quickly toward the battle line to meet him. Reaching into his bag and taking out a stone, he slung it and struck the Philistine on the forehead. The stone sank into his forehead, and he fell facedown on the ground.
David ran and stood over him. He took hold of the Philistine’s sword and drew it from the sheath. After he killed him, he cut off his head with the sword.
David's time in the hills alone with the sheep has added faith to courage - and given him deadly accuracy with the sling. The giant doesn't stand a chance. Once again God is shown as his people's protector: all he requires from them is trust and the courage to obey.
Why?
David came against the giant flight with the name of the Lord Almighty. So under the blessing of the Lord, David killed giant, Goliath, with a stone and sling.
Vicory is depended on the Lord, what we can do is follow the way of the Lord and be a servant of the Lord.
When God's holy name be defied we should stand out to fight with them.
How?
Base on the truth and obey God's word, be a flighter of the Lord for this truth, judge and love.
