Saul was hiding, the Israelites were quaking, Goliath was prowling. So often we can feel powerless before the frightening things we face, we feel intimidated and paralysed. That’s what this army was like, God’s people here were afraid. But David lived by a different score, he knew who his God was, he believed in the victory of his God and he stepped up to the plate, he was courageous and defeated Goliath in the strength of his God not in the strength of man. Sometimes we're afraid and battle with insecurities about our identity, sometimes we hide, often we feel small in the face of our enemies; but in David here we see a reflection of the victory won for us by Jesus, he fought and defeated our many Goliaths. We can at times be like the Israelites when they were scared and fearful. The Israelites stayed in a place of fear whereas we, through Jesus, can learn to look different and not stay in a place of fear but instead be strong and courageous in Jesus.
