Ever wonder why David took five stones into battle? Why not two or twenty?. Use your five fingers to remind you of the five stones you need to face down your Goliath. 1. THE STONE OF THE PAST Goliath jogged Davids memory. While everyone else quivered, David remembered. God had given him strength to wrestle a lion and strong-arm a bear. Wouldnt he do the same with the giant? 2. THE STONE OF PRAYER Before going high, David went low; before ascending to fight, David descended to prepare. Dont face your giant without first doing the same. Dedicate time to prayer. 3. THE STONE OF PRIORITY Gods reputation.. David fought so that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel. 4. THE STONE OF PASSION David ran, not away from, but toward his giant. On one side of the battlefield, Saul and his cowardly army gulped. On the other, Goliath and his skull-splitters scoffed. In the middle, the shepherd boy ran on his spindly legs. 5. THE STONE OF PERSISTENCE David didnt think one rock would do. He knew Goliath had four behemoth relatives. For all David knew, theyd come running over the hill to defend their kin. David was ready to empty the chamber if thats what it took. Imitate him. Never give up. One prayer might not be enough. One apology might not do it. One day or month of resolve might not suffice. You may get knocked down a time or two … but dont quit. Keep loading the rocks. Keep swinging the sling. ****** Blessings Ps Roxy
