Story of David - Day 16

I Samuel 17:50-51 – "So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and with a stone, and smote the Philistine, and slew him; but there was no sword in the hand of David. Therefore David ran, and stood upon the Philistine, and took his sword, and drew it out of the sheath thereof, and slew him, and cut off his head therewith."

David's victory over Goliath was not just a physical triumph; it was a powerful declaration of faith and trust in God's strength. Standing over the fallen giant, David took Goliath's sword and severed his head, ensuring victory and humiliation for the enemy.

Years later, David reflected: 

• Psalm 18:32,34 – "It is God that girdeth me with strength and maketh my way perfect... He teacheth my hands to war, so that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms."

David's life reminds us that God equips us for our battles. Just as God equipped David, He empowers us to face our battles with unwavering strength and trust in His might.
