I Samuel 17:45,46 Then said David to the Philistine, Thou
comest to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a shield: but I come to
thee in the name of the LORD of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom
thou hast defied. This day will the LORD deliver thee into mine hand; and I
will smite thee, and take thine head from thee; and I will give the carcases of
the host of the Philistines this day unto the fowls of the air, and to the wild
beasts of the earth; that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel.
As David went out to meet Goliath, he picked up five smooth stones from the
creek as ammo. He would use his sling shot, just as he had on a lion and a bear
who had tried to make off with one of his little lambs. They had gotten
nowhere. With God’s help, David had killed both of them! And as David faced
Goliath, he knew God would be with him once again! And God was! David let the
stone fly and God sent it right into Goliath’s fore head! Goliath fell down
flat! And as the Philistine army looked on in horror, David pulled out
Goliath’s own sword and chopped of the giant’s head! The Philistines’ hearts
sank and they took off running in fear. The Israelites shouted in victory and
took off after the Philistines! David was the hero of the day, all because he
had dared to obey God. Are you ready to stand up for God? I hope so!
