David was God&#8217;s man for the job, but David himself said that &#8220;the battle is the LORD&#8217;s.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>We would do very well to remember that when confronting the giants we face today. As you will be able to see in the study sheets:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The battle is the LORD&#8217;s,<\/li>\n<li>The victory is the LORD&#8217;s,<\/li>\n<li>And the only plans that stand are ________________ (fill in the blank).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>That is reality. Not our voices of fear and panic when it comes to our government and the affairs of this world.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Do you know what David&#8217;s greatest weapon was? His trust in the LORD.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>That has not changed.<\/strong> About thirty centuries later this still holds true. Our greatest weapon against the darkness, against the schemes of the enemy is our complete trust in God to be God.<\/p>\n<p>I am a five-smooth-stones type of person. Bible is what I am about. Bible, Bible, Bible &#8230; You may call me simplistic, but God doesn&#8217;t.<\/p>\n<p><strong>&#8220;It&#8217;s complicated&#8221; &#8230;\u00a0<\/strong><br \/>\nWe hear that a lot it seems. But the truth is that often &#8220;it&#8217;s complicated&#8221; is merely\u00a0our attempt to muddy the waters.\u00a0God really is as wise as he tells us. If we listened more closely, we would know that.<\/p>\n<p>David was a young man, a shepherd, standing in the gap against a violent man of war. How and why did David stand? Because of his trust in God and his greatness!<\/p>\n<p><strong>After the giant breathed his terrifying threats, David said rather matter-of-factly it seems<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Today the LORD will conquer you, and I will kill you and cut off your head.
