“for the battle is the Lord’s and He will give you into our hands.” 1 Samuel 17:47b
These are the last words of David before he ran at Goliath. In them we have epitomized his view of the story; “the battle is the Lord’s”. When we hear this story rehearsed today in a movie, in the news, or in sports, it is done to characterize a smaller/weaker overcoming a larger/stronger. This is true, but rarely would they attribute their reason being the same as David’s. This is where they differ. God took a “nobody”, too insignificant to be at Samuel’s Feast, filled him with his Spirit, and then uses him mightily! That is “Why” the story of David and Goliath turns out as it does. “HE…will give you into our hands.” May we have David’s Perspective!!!
