When facing insurmountable odds what do you do? Well, many people quietly slip away. Instead of running a marathon they walk for a week and give up. Instead of losing those 40 extra pounds they sneak in a trip to the fast food burger joint. Instead of getting help with their addiction they pop a pill, fill the needle, or light up. Instead of staying and fighting they slip away into the night.
And it’s not always their fault. Indeed, many obstacles in life are seemingly insurmountable, at least on our own. Of course, when the young boy David faced the fierce giant Goliath he stayed and fought, but not without fear and trepidation. Oh yeah, and God was with him. In fact, God’s presence with David was the most important part of that great epic.
This Sunday at OKC First Church we will take a fresh look at this classic story. We will see how God’s hand was leading David into battle, the ways God readies and empowers us for battle, and the kind of victories we can expect when we follow God’s lead. I hope to see each of you this Sunday in worship at 10:45 at OKC First Church as we experience together this story of David and Goliath.
