The Source

The shepherd boy, David, was ill matched and out gunned as he faced off with the giant veteran warrior Goliath.  The odds makers would have given 30 to 1 or better.

Young David stepped onto the field of battle with a slingshot and 5 smooth stones, his opponent was fully armored and equipped with weapons of war - it did not look good for team Israel's champion. 

But David saw things differently.  He did not see advantage Philistines, instead he was confident in the strength of his position. Listen to his assessment: "You come against me with sword and spear and javelin, but I come against you in the name of the Lord Almighty, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied. This day the Lord will deliver you into my hands, …" (1 Sam 17:45, 46).

As you face the giants of your life, it is not the size of your challenge nor the sum of your resources that determines the outcome, it is the source of your faith.  David's optimism was rooted in one simple fact: "God's got this!"
