A devotional reflection on David’s courage in confronting Goliath.
Bible Characters
God gives victory to those who trust Him. David faced a giant with nothing but faith and a sling. His courage came from confidence in God’s power, not his own strength. David’s story teaches us that no obstacle is too great when God fights for us.
The battle is the LORD’S. (1 Samuel 17:47)
Thou comest to me with a sword… but I come to thee in the name of the LORD. (1 Samuel 17:45)
David prevailed over the Philistine. (1 Samuel 17:50)
Christian Application

Sample Prayer
Lord, give me courage to face the giants in my life. Strengthen my faith in Your power. Amen.
