Day 9 - 1 Samuel

Day 9 - 1 SAMUEL

Then David said to the Philistine(Goliath), "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 defied.  This day the Lord will deliver you into my hand, and I will strike you and take your head from you. And this day I will give the carcasses of the camp of the Philistines to the birds of the air and the wild beasts of the earth, that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel.  Then all this assembly shall know that the Lord does not save with sword and spear; for the battle is the Lord's,...So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and a stone, and struck the Philistine and killed him.”  (1 Samuel 17:45-47, 50)

The passage above is one of the most inspiring stories in the Bible for me.  It proves to me that with God, nothing is impossible; that there is no giant in my life that is too big that God cannot help me defeat it.
