David and Goliath
by louis gander Do we, some 'giant' problems have - a giant cross to bear? Could we survive in David's day? Would anybody dare? Goliath was a giant one - a man who got his way. His enemies were frightened off every single day. Goliath was a bragger too, a scoffer - he was mean! And no one dared to challenge this behemoth Philistine. Goliath wore great armor while great enemies would run. So who could fight this giant? Goliath always won...! Now David was a youngster there, whose job it was to keep - wild animals from killing off his small and frail sheep. And David spent much time in prayer while sheep were roaming grass. He practiced with his slingshot when he had some time to pass. Now David heard the challenge too - for he was God's own choice - to eliminate this giant man with big and braggart voice. Well David, funny, must have looked. No armor did he bring. His weapons? He had five smooth stones, a little stick and sling. Imagine how Goliath scoffed at David's homemade 'toy'... and all who saw this 'match-up' of Goliath and a boy! But laughter came to sudden stop when David, all alone - had swung that little sling around and flung one little stone. It flew straight with precision and hit squarely on his head. The ground shook with Goliath's fall and giant lay there dead. Were Goliath's soldiers silenced when armor's echo ceased? And had dust even settled when, Goliath's head was seized? As David watched his frail sheep, God watched this youthful man. God also watches over us... and kill all giants, can. Copyright 2021 by louis gander. Poetry for sermons, story poems and more...
