In the books of I and II Samuel David does the inevitable for his people. At the time, a ten-foot tall Goliath of the Philistine’s was sent to challenge David’s people the Israelites. It was said that Goliath would fight an Israelite warrior and the losers people would become slaves.

When no one volunteered, little David stepped forward to meet the challenge, despite people telling him that he didn’t have a chance.

David replied to Saul, “Your servant has been tending his father’s

sheep, and if a lion or a bear came and carried off an animal from

the flock, I would go after it and fight it and rescue it from its mouth.

And if it attacked me, I would seize it by the beard and strike it

down and kill it. Your servant has killed both lion and bear; and

the uncircumcised Philistine shall end up like one of them, for he

has defied the ranks of the living God. The Lord,” David went on,

David took only a sling shot and five stones to fight Goliath. Goliath on the other hand was armed with a sword and great armor for defense. Catching the giant completely by surprise, David unleashed a stone and struck Goliath in the forehead. The giant fell allowing David to take his sword and behead Goliath with it. Though David was small he had the courage and leadership to take a challenge that no one else was willing to do.

“who saved me from the lion and bear will also save me from that

David shows leadership both in himself and the Lord gives him a leader to follow. He knows his ability and is not afraid to face someone that is simply bigger in size.
