The God Of David Is Our God Too!

EVERYBODY knows about how a boy named David swung a tiny stone against a towering demon in the person of Goliath. And so the stone went up in the air and punched through the bronze helmet of the giant monster. Miraculously, the 2.74 meter demon tumbled down at the impact of the small stone, and then David ran and used Goliath's own sword and decapitated the giant beast.

But what many of us forget is that even before the battle, David was so sure that the Lord God will deliver Goliath into his hands, and that he will strike Goliath's head off from his body.

Then David said to the Philistine, “You come to me with a sword, with a spear, and with a javelin. But I come to you in the name of the Lord of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied. This day the Lord will deliver you into my hand, and I will strike you and take your head from you. And this day I will give the carcasses of the camp of the Philistines to the birds of the air and the wild beasts of the earth, that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel. (1 Samuel 16:45-46)

David had a good opinion about God. He knew that God is on his side. And with what he knew, he went about the battle and ended up victorious.

As believers in Jesus Christ, it is important that we be established in the truth that God is a good God and that He is for us and not against us. It is so important because this will not only give you a full assurance that you are not alone, but it will also assure you that with God on your side, you will always be victorious against all your Goliaths in life.

Goliath was a giant but David was small and the result was a miracle. Don't be afraid of the towering Goliaths in your life. The same God who fought for David is fighting for you. You are not alone. You are not on the losing end. The God of Israel who defeated David's enemy is very much alive and present your life and He is actively decapitating all the giants that are on your way. Be strong and have faith.
