This blog post is based off of 1 Samuel 17:32-51 from the "New Women's Devotional Bible".
We all know the story of David and Goliath! I loved this story as a child - I think every child does if they get to sing the song! I think that it is a great story that shows that God uses anybody. He doesn't care if your young, old, small, big, whatever...he will use you for what He wants to use you for!
I think that God was making a point when He chose David to defeat Goliath. He wanted to not only show us that He is willing to use anyone to fight for Him, but also to show others that we can only fight with God on our side. His power is what is the driving force behind every battle. He is the strong one - not us!
I love that God empowers the weak to work for him. I say weak because I believe we all are - compared to God! Sure, there are strong people in this world, but that is compared to worldly standards. But to have the strength of God, we need Him on our side working through us!
We all go through battles in our lives where we need God to come through us and take the victory. God promises that if we equip ourselves with His armor, we will be able to defeat any battle with Him on our side! His strength will overcome!
