Sermon #450

The story of David and Goliath is a very familiar story to anyone who was raised in the church. It is one of the first stories we learn in Sunday school. And because of its familiarity, as adults sometimes we can gloss over the greater meaning of the story. David was a shepherd, not particularly exceptional and decidedly not a battle-hardened warrior like Goliath. Yet David had something that Goliath did not, and that is faith in God. He saw Goliath as a little problem because he knew that his God is a big God who spoke and the worlds were formed. And he also knew that victory would not come because of his ability but rather because of his lack of it, for, as he said, the battle is the Lord's. God uses the weak to confound the strong, and ultimately He gets the glory for it.
