“The Lord who rescued me from the paw of the lion and the paw of the bear will rescue me from the hand of this Philistine.” 1 Samuel 17:37

David and Goliath is like a Superhero origin story. David came from relative obscurity, as a young man, to defeat the Philistine, Goliath, and so began his journey to become King over Israel and the ancestor of the winner of the ultimate victory, Jesus. David’s strength and power however only had one source and that was God. And it was by God’s strength that he was able to overcome Goliath. In our daily lives we often face Goliaths, whether that be our health, our finances, our relationships or our livelihoods. But the call from this story is to trust in a living God who wants to give you the strength to overcome those Goliaths in whatever form they take. David defeated Goliath by trusting in God and by God’s strength alone, let us be prayerful people who believe in a God who can do the same to our Goliaths today.
