David, Goliath and 5 smooth stones –
Part 2
Stone 2 = trust. David trusted the One he knew. David recalled previous experiences when he spoke to King Saul (1 Samuel 17:34-37). It would seem David’s attitude was – I can’t believe you guys don’t realise what the battle is really about and who this giant is up against! I can’t believe you’re falling for the bluster and bluff!
How often the ‘noise’ of the battle causes us to be surprised and draws our focus to the noise maker instead of the Way Maker.
Pause and consider: When I am in the thick of a trying time, what support do I need to remember the victories I have achieved? Take a moment and consider a previous battle where you have come through successfully. What made the difference?
What supports do I need to help me walk through this current situation?
