Contemplation (verse 7)
In my discourse I showed that Goliath was protected by the power of his weapons and the strength of a full set of armor, whereas David had none of that panoply. But he was fortified by his faith. Goliath had the external protection of his glittering breastplate and shield; David shone from within with the grace of the Spirit. This is why a boy prevailed over a man, this is why the one wearing no armor conquered the one fully armed, this is why the shepherd’s hand crushed and destroyed the bronze weapons of war
+ St John Chrysostom

Personal Reflection
Do we trust God the way David trusted God knowing that he would conquer and be delivered? Do we give Glory to God the way David gave Glory to God knowing that it was God’s battle?

Bible Knowledge Question
Where was Goliath from?

Prayer
Dear Lord, teach us to trust You as confidently as David trusted You knowing that we worship the Living God. Give us this strength in You that we can face any challenge even to the point of danger
