1 Samuel 16-19: Facing Giants

All those gathered here will know that it is not by sword or spear that the LORD saves; for the battle is the LORD’s, and he will give all of you into our hands.” - 1 Samuel 17:47 NIV

Mankind has always had the propensity to confuse size and weaponry with power and might, but if God isn't on your side, or if you aren't on God's side, it is a moot point.  That is something that Golaith and even Saul did not understand.  David was the only one who knew he didn't need the mightiest sword or the best armour to go against the enemies of the Lord.  The battle would not be won by manpower.  It would be won by God's power.  We would do well to remember that when we find ourselves facing our own giants.
