A Giant Among Men

Goliath was a giant among men.

“Then a champion named Goliath, from Gath, came out from the Philistine camp. He was nine feet, nine inches tall and wore a bronze helmet and bronze scale armor that weighed 125 pounds.There was bronze armor on his shins, and a bronze sword was slung between his shoulders. His spear shaft was like a weaver’s beam, and the iron point of his spear weighed 15 pounds.In addition, a shield-bearer was walking in front of him.

He stood and shouted to the Israelite battle formations: ‘Why do you come out to line up in battle formation?’ He asked them, ‘Am I not a Philistine and are you not servants of Saul? Choose one of your men and have him come down against me (1 Samuel 17:4-8 HCSB).”

David was a mere lad; yet, undaunted he was bold among men.

Fearless, he challenged a giant!

“David said to the Philistine: ‘You come against me with a dagger, spear, and sword, but I come against you in the name of Yahweh of Hosts, the God of Israel’s armies—you have defied Him. Today, the Lord will hand you over to me (1 Samuel 17:45-46 a HCSB).”

As Psalmist, David continued to banish fear.

“The Lord is my light and my salvation—
whom should I fear?
The Lord is the stronghold of my life—
of whom should I be afraid (Psalm 27:1 HCSB)?”
