"God guided David -- David was a Spirit-led man and his every decision had to be in the will of God and for the glory of God." It was God's guidance that had Jesse send David on the final day Goliath was daring any challengers. God got David up early to hear the morning challenge. "God brought David to the camp for such a time as this, and he was ready to accept the challenge."
"God encouraged David -- Whenever you step out by faith to fight the enemy, there's always somebody around to discourage you, and often it begins in your own home ... David didn't allow Eliab's harsh words to discourage him, for he knew that God could help him defeat the giant ... When we walk by sight, we calculate everything from the human perspective, and this always leads to discouragement; but when we walk by faith, God comes into the equation, and that changes the results... Men and women of faith obey God no matter what the experts say."
"God enabled David -- All of God's giants have been weak men who did great things for God because they reckoned on His being with them... David did what he did for the glory of God ...David saw this as a contest between the true God of Israel and the false gods of the Philistines. God wants to use His people to magnify His name to all the nations of the earth ... David wanted the whole assembly -- Israel and the Philistines -- to know that the Lord doesn't need swords and spears but can deliver His people in His own way through the humblest of means ... David was the prepared servant for this occasion ... The Spirit of God lived in David's body and would enable him to win the battle. God guided the stone and it sank into the giant's forehead ... Saul merely watched as David defeated the enemy single-handed ... David's faith lifted the war to a much higher plane."
Father, thank You that Your Spirit also lives within me. Please guide me, encourage me, and enable me to do Your will every day.
Your Brother In Christ,
