Defeating Goliath

-
Unknown

Then said David to the Philistine, Thou comest to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a shield: but I come to thee in the name of the LORD of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom thou hast defied.--1 Samuel 17:45 (KJV)

We all know that Goliath was a giant and David won his spectacular victory over Goliath only through God's help. Goliath was a giant and also a first-class warrior that frightened the Israelite and the Philistines made him leader. He wore armor that weighed about 125 pounds and wielded a spear with an iron point that weighed 15 pounds, indeed, without help from God, David could not have killed Goliath, and also without faith in God, David would not have dared to confront the giant.

As the Christ's followers, Our Goliath is Satan, because we are engaged in war with Satan everyday by day, a supernatural being far more powerful than Goliath. But we can have faith; God is the most powerful. He who helped David to kill the Giant can help us defeat the devil and is messengers. We may face situation beyond our reserves, but never beyond God's resources.
