" . . . For who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should defy the armies of the living God?"
We have got to love David's spirit here (above). He had a simple faith in God, so he could not understand why anyone would be afraid of a giant (Goliath). "Compared to God, who is this Philistine?," would be David's way of thinking.
And so it is today. The church needs "Davids," who will not cower before the blustering, bloated "giants" of heresy and blasphemy--who are more full of hot air than they are of any substance. Let us, like David, take our stand on the gospel of Christ, and fight as the "armies of the living God."
