"And when the Philistine looked about and saw David, he disdained him; for he was only a youth, ruddy, and good-looking. So the Philistine said to David, 'Am I a dog, that you come to me with sticks?' And the Philistine cursed David by his gods." ....Then David said to the Philistine, 'You come to me with a sword, with a spear, and with a javelin. But I come to you in the name of the LORD of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied.' "
I Samuel 17:42-43, 45
David had only three things going for him – his youth, a good complexion, and good looks. That's what Bill Clinton had, but they did not help him in his moral battle. When facing the enemy, I need more than the "sticks" of my youth (?), my charm (?), and my good looks (???). My resources are puny compared to the giant's sword, spear, and javelin. I need a power greater than myself if I expect to win my battles.
Today's Thought: The enemy may disdain us but we have a secret weapon – faith.
Have a trusting-God day. Love you.
