Courage

Update on teen class at church:

David and Goliath. A popular story about courage, faith, and willing to do God's will. However, there is more to the story, as we all know by now. When David saw how the Israelites were terrified of the Philistine's giant, he was shocked, and probably angry. His words, "What will be done for the man who kills this Philistine and removes this disgrace from Israel? Who is this uncircumcised Philistine that he should defy the armies of the living God?" This young man, who was a shepheard, and only a little brother... saying things of such wisdom and maturity. The Israelites could not remember that they had a champion on their side even greater and stronger than the Philistine giant. David remembered however, and he was able to bring the Israelites to victory because of his obedience to God's commands. He stood tall in the face of adversity, and didn't back down, even when the situation looked hopeless.

I have seen so many of you stand up for what you believe. I've seen you battle your own giants. I've see you conquer. Thanks for being that encouragment for me.
