David and Goliath. A story we all know. We know it’s not just a story. It’s a true historical event. It holds the quintessential understanding that God is faithful.
David, a ruddy teenage shepherd boy ran an errand taking lunch to his older brothers fighting on the front line. When he arrived, he saw Goliath. A giant standing nine feet nine inches tall. His armor weighed 125 pounds. The tip of his spear, just the tip, was fifteen pounds. Goliath, a giant in every sense.
Goliath had been taunting the army of King Saul for a week. He cursed and mocked them. He blasphemed the God of Israel.
