1Samuel 17:49
"And David put his hand in his bag, and took thence a stone,
and slang it, and smote the Philistine in his forehead,
that the stone sunk into his forehead; and
he fell upon his face to the earth."
David did not wait until his enemy had crossed the valley, he ran and selected the pebbles needed for his sling. Goliath made fun of such a champion and cursed him. To this boasting and blaspheming, the God of Israel would assuredly take up the challenge, and vindicate His servant’s faith. Then all Gentile nations would see that the God of Israel was a living reality, while Israel also would learn the too long and forgotten lesson that God saveth not by sword or spear.
So confident was the Philistine that he did not trouble to draw his sword or let down the visor of his helmet. One thrust of his heavy spear, he thought, was all that would be required. But less in a moment more Goliath was lying helpless on the ground. It is this reason that God’s champions, in every age, have gone out against giant wrongs, and it is this reason that we may confidently overthrow the sins that claim supremacy over our lives.
Amen!
