1 Samuel 17v37 Moreover David said, “The Lord, who delivered me from the paw of the lion and from the paw of the bear, He will deliver me from the hand of this Philistine.” (Goliath) And Saul said to David, “Go, and the Lord be with you!”

As a shepherd David had to fight off lions and other beast of the earth to save his flock. David understood that the Lord was with him delivering him from those battles, all to lead up to the moment where he would defeat Goliath. David possesses incredible faith throughout trials His whole life with no fear because He knows his God is with him. I want to think like David. When I come into a struggle granted it’s not going to be as severe as fighting a lion (but we never know) I want to rely on faith, fully seek God in the matter and understand He is strengthening me for my later Goliath whom I will conquer for His glory.
