Key Verse

“Then said David to the Philistine, Thou comest to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a shield: but I come to thee in the name of the LORD of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom thou hast defied.” 1 Samuel 17:45

Text — 1Samuel 17:42-50

Message

David was a very beautiful Old Testament character that many people would love to identify with. Firstly, at a tender age, he was anointed King in the presence of his elder brothers. Despite being the youngest, he was the one sent to keep the father’s flock in the bush which was risky considering his age. He also killed the Philistine champion who was a terror to the army of Israel.

This David was unique indeed and is exemplary in his character. What was his secret? David always allowed God to fight all his battles. He had given his life to God and allowed Him to be responsible for taking care of him. Hear what he said to Goliath, “I come to thee in the name of the LORD of Hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom thou hast defied.” He obviously made it clear that he wasn’t fighting for himself nor Israel but for God and that’s why he came to Goliath in the name of God, and God had to defend Him. Quit worrying and allow God to take care of you and all that concerns you and you won’t regret. Also live an exemplary life and be a shining light in your neighbourhood.
