1 Samuel 17:1-51
Read - 1 Samuel 17:32-37
David took certain steps in setting this situation right that give us a clear picture of the walk of faith that should be exhibited in every Christ-Followers life. David shows us what faith does when faith is faced with giants, battles and obstacles.
I. FAITH REACTS
A Lesson to learn from this! When you accept Jesus as Lord, God places His Spirit within each of our hearts. Now, when one of life's giants appears in our view, there rises up within the heart of the child of God a desire to see that Giant fall! All around there may be those who tell us that the giant is too strong, or that we are unable to overcome it, but while the world and the faithless cry, "God can't!", there is One in our hearts Who rises up and declares with all the force He possesses, "God can, God can!"
II. FAITH RESOLVES
III.FAITH REMEMBERS
What made David's so determined to defeat Goliath? It was the same thing that motivated him to kill the lion and the bear. As the shepherd of the flock, he was responsible for protecting the sheep. So, he killed the attackers and delivered the sheep. When it came to Israel, David had already been anointed to be the next king of Israel (1Sam.16). In effect, he was their shepherd. When he saw the people being attacked by Goliath, he just reacted with the heart of a shepherd.
IV. FAITH RELIES
V. FAITH RECEIVES
Hebrew 11:1
