What can turn a simple shepherd boy into a shepherd warrior?
As you listen to today's story about David notice how it is the determination in his heart to protect the honor of the living God.
When we determine in our hearts to do something this is when we see big dividens. For David, it was his deep abiding love for the living God. All those years worshipping Him on the hills surrounding Bethlehem developed an internal strength that defies logic.
Does your belief in God give you an internal strength that defies logic?
I often pray and tell God that I want to believe that I do, but in the face of a giant, how might I truly behave? At times, I do not know that I would be so strong, but other times I am certain I would be because I truly trust God. This is okay. Because one thing I have learned over the years, when I am weak, He truly is strong (2 Cor. 22:8-11).
Our giants aren't a physical Goliath. They come in the form of obstacles or struggles like illness, relationships, finances, natural disasters... In all of these, my God has proven faithful! He slayed my Goliaths. So, we may feel like a shepherd boy/girl, but in Him we are shepherd warriors! Amen!
