We must FIGHT

By looking back over the story of David and Goliath, the story of David has a whole new meaning. Since when in our hearts do we have a heart like David's?

David's story of Goliath takes off during a rough time for Saul. God is beginning to take his royalty away, and Samuel is quickly becoming one of Saul's broken friendships. Then all of a sudden the son of Jesse comes into the scene. David is with his herd of sheep, when he is ordered to bring bread to the front lines between the Israelites and the Philistines. Once a few conversations pass, David becomes the man to take on Goliath. Although this isn't just the fact that David steps up to take on Goliath, a 9 foot giant, but it is the story of David's passion for God's people. As soon as he understands this uncircumcised Philistine has defied the armies of the living God he knows he will fight. David tells of his experience of protect his flocks by killing off bears and lions, and he knows Goliath "will be like one of them."

All because of one mans attitude for God's kingdom does Goliath die.

By reading this passage out of 1 Samuel 17, I begin to see the real extent that we must believe in God's kingdom. We might be caring weapons that looks small, but, infact, we have the weapons of gold. This is an action to stand. Believe in what God has given to us. Do not fall down to other peoples misunderstandings and ungodly knowledge. Do not become sidetracked by some other thing. Stay focused on fighting for God's kingdom.

We must fight for each other. God has put us on this Earth together to form a community of warriors to fight the good fight. Don't leave a brother behind. Fight for pure hearts and defeat the evil in sin. Fight for joy and faith by defeating evil attractions of porn, selfishness, and poison.
