Samuel 17: 45 David said to the Philistine (Goliath), "You come against me with sword and spear and javelin, but I come against you in the name of the LORD Almighty..."
Everyone who has ever grown-up in church has heard the story of David and Goliath. It is a classic story that teaches children that with God you can do mighty things, like kill a giant. David was no adult, he was a small boy, probably around High School age. He was no trained fighter or strong man. But David had God to help him defeated the one insulting his God. David had amazing, omniscient power on his side. Because he had so much faith in God protecting him and being by his side the whole way, was David ever able to kill such a giant. If you ever listen to Christian music then you might have heard of Casting Crowns. They are a really good band, who passionately love God in every song. One of their songs is called Voice of Truth (to listen, click link below). It talks about having faith to face the giants of our lives or to be able to trust so fully in God to be able to walk on water like Peter the Disciple did. I hope that one day my faith matches that of David. I thank God for the times he has helped me through the giants of my life. "Have the kind of strength (or faith) is takes to stand before a giant with just a sling and a stone."
