The story inspires children and the elders. Countless times she has been illustrated, filmed again and again. The sermons that were preached on David and Goliath go into unmanageable.
Today I found a note with sermon notes. Those who had preached, I do not know. When, I do not know. But the thoughts are worth being repeated here and run.
" Goliath", so called him the people. A giant, a winner, a monster. Its size was more than human, his gigantic power. No wonder he was considered invincible. He inspired not only his enemies in his own people fear. He even managed to inspire the people of God fear. Yes, Big inspire a just fear.
" uncircumcised " he was called by David. An uncircumcised person was in a figurative sense, a person without a relationship with God. Since God is the holder of ultimate power, however, the winner par excellence, the Lord of Hosts - which can thus result in an uncircumcised Goliath already?
" shame " David called the godless, two-legged fear factor as well. Anyone who stands against God and his people, is nothing more ridiculous than an eyesore. He brings disgrace on himself, as he piles up even on problems by themselves in the ranks of the enemies of God enqueues.
"The Living " said David has mentioned the almighty God. From him comes life and He will triumph and live. Always!
" The Lord of hosts " David calls his God and trusts in the Almighty, to which the countless multitude of heavenly hosts is at your service.
Goliath David knew only a little while (few hours?). He knew only superficially Goliath. But David knew his God. He knew him well! That's what counts. The larger is God - the smaller are our problems. The larger We estimate our problems, the smaller God. It was "to know God," the David of this go forward and achieve victory in the name of the Lord and the Lord did. The majority of the army called out. Goliath is so big that we can not defeat even "David exclaimed:" Goliath is so big that I can not miss it "Go he went, trusting in God and won the fight . (Read in 1 Samuel 17)
who follow Jesus, is on the winning side!
