January 16, 2021 Mighty-1 Samuel 17:32,41-47

It feels so encouraging and inspiring to hear stories of those who are weak and vulnerable beat the odds to become winners. The Bible tells one of these stories. David, a shepherd boy, volunteered to fight Goliath—a mammoth warrior who defamed God and threatened Israel. King

Saul thought David was unusual: “You are not able to go out against this Philistine and fight

him; you are only a young man, and he has been a warrior from his youth” (1 Samuel 17:33).

And when the boy David stepped onto the battlefield, Goliath “looked David over and saw that he was little more than a boy, glowing with health and handsome, and he despised him.” (1 Samuel 17:42). However, but David didn’t step into battle alone. “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.” (1 Samuel 17:45).

And when the day was done, a victorious David stood above a dead Goliath. We fight not with the swords and weapons, with the name of Jesus Christ. No matter how enormous the problem, when God is with us there’s nothing that we need to fear. With His strength, we’re also mighty.
