Who is Our Goliath?

We meet people or have circumstances in our lives that seem too large to handle. We see that David was not afraid of the nine foot giant he encountered. Why wasn’t he afraid? Can you imagine how big a person nine feet tall really is? David was a great man of faith. He believed the LORD would protect him.

“Then David said to the Philistine. ‘You come to me with a sword, with a spear, and with a javelin. But I come to you in the name of the LORD of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defiled…Then all this assembly shall know that the LORD does not save with sword and spear; for the battle is the LORD’s, and He will give you into our hands.’ Then David put his hand in his bag and took out a stone; and he slung it and struck the Philistine in his forehead, so that the stone sank into his forehead, and he fell on his face the earth.”

I Samuel 17:45,47,49  NKJV

Because David believed God controlled the battle, David ran toward the army to meet Goliath (vs.48). With God, we do not have to be afraid.
