1 Samuel 17:31-50
[31] Now when the words which David spoke were heard, they reported them to Saul; and he sent for him. 

[32] Then David said to Saul, “Let no man’s heart fail because of him; your servant will go and fight with this Philistine.” 

[33] And Saul said to David, “You are not able to go against this Philistine to fight with him; for you are a youth, and he a man of war from his youth.” 

[34] But David said to Saul, “Your servant used to keep his father’s sheep, and when a lion or a bear came and took a lamb out of the flock, 

[35] I went out after it and struck it, and delivered the lamb from its mouth; and when it arose against me, I caught it by its beard, and struck and killed it. 

[36] Your servant has killed both lion and bear; and this uncircumcised Philistine will be like one of them, seeing he has defied the armies of the living God.” 

[37] Moreover David said, “The Lord, who delivered me from the paw of the lion and from the paw of the bear, He will deliver me from the hand of this Philistine.” And Saul said to David, “Go, and the Lord be with you!” 

[38] So Saul clothed David with his armor, and he put a bronze helmet on his head; he also clothed him with a coat of mail. 

[39] David fastened his sword to his armor and tried to walk, for he had not tested them. And David said to Saul, “I cannot walk with these, for I have not tested them.” So David took them off. 

[40] Then he took his staff in his hand; and he chose for himself five smooth stones from the brook, and put them in a shepherd’s bag, in a pouch which he had, and his sling was in his hand. And he drew near to the Philistine. 

[41] So the Philistine came, and began drawing near to David, and the man who bore the shield went before him. 

[42] And when the Philistine looked about and saw David, he disdained him; for he was only a youth, ruddy and good-looking. 

[43] 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. 

[44] And the Philistine said to David, “Come to me, and I will give your flesh to the birds of the air and the beasts of the field!” 

[45] 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. 

[46] This day the Lord will deliver you into my hand, and I will strike you and take your head from you. And this day I will give the carcasses of the camp of the Philistines to the birds of the air and the wild beasts of the earth, that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel. 

[47] Then all this assembly shall know that the Lord does not save with sword and spear; for the battle is the Lord’s, and He will give you into our hands.” 

[48] So it was, when the Philistine arose and came and drew near to meet David, that David hurried and ran toward the army to meet the Philistine. 

[49] Then David put his hand in his bag and took out a stone; and he slung it and struck the Philistine in his forehead, so that the stone sank into his forehead, and he fell on his face to the earth. 

[50] So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and a stone, and struck the Philistine and killed him. But there was no sword in the hand of David.

The most popular story about David in the Bible is probably the one about his encounter with Goliath. The Philistine giant had been boasting against the Israelite army and nobody, including King Saul, could do anything. When Jesse sent David to the battlefield, he thought he was sending him to deliver food to his brothers but he really was launching him into destiny.

David heard the Philistine boast and he decided to take action despite his eldest brother's rebuke. When David stood before Saul, he told him of how he had killed a lion and a bear that had come against a lamb in his flock. David was bold because he had tested God in the wilderness and he had an assurance. If God did not fail you in the wilderness, He definitely would not fail you on the battlefield.

Saul armed him with his armour but he couldn't move so he went for the familiar sling and stones. The lesson here is profound. You do not use untested weapons on the battlefield. If you haven't been grooming your spirit through exercises like prayer, fasting, word study, you will not be able to stand on the day of battle. That is why Paul encourages believers to always put on the whole armour of God and stand (Ephesians 6:11-13).

More interesting is the dialogue between David and Goliath. It is important to confess your victory with your mouth, no matter the size of the enemy facing you. David told Goliath that he had come against him in the name of the Lord, and that he would kill him. That was exactly what happened. God worked through those stones and silenced the wicked enemy.

Beloved, refuse to be bullied into silence; refuse to confess negatively. Rather, proclaim the name of Jesus over every situation and watch your enemies put to shame. If you are ever threatened by a wicked personality, do not cower in fear; reply them and return their threat in the name of Jesus. The Lord will strengthen you to cut off the head of every Goliath that rises against you, in Jesus' name.
