Most of us know the story of David and Goliath really well. But can I open by asking: "Who is that story about?" And "What is the point of that story for your life?" I think it is a common take to suggest that we need to be like David and approach our own Goliaths with faith, courage and wisdom. I'd certainly agree with that! But have you noticed how hard that is. All of the sudden it hits us - our lives aren't really like David's life - and maybe we won't get the same outcome he got!
Part of the shortfall here is maybe this story isn't about you and me, at least not at first. Maybe this event, like so many before and after it, are about Someone else, Someone grater. Not just greater than you, but even greater than David. Like, David's story is just a two dimensional shadow of the Man's life that overshadows all others.
Once we find Jesus in the story first, we unlock a special connection. We ARE connected to Jesus, as disciples and as a people He saved by His valiant victory over Satan. Let's find Him, remember Him, and praise Him. Then, let's learn from Him. Let's live victorious lives because of Him, and let's be wise and different like He was, and continue to catch the enemy by surprise!
