1 Samuel 17: 45 But David said to the Philistine, “You come to me with sword and spear and 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.
The story of David and Goliath is well known. Goliath disrespected God's people for 40 days before David arrived. The people had so little faith that they would not believe that they could defeat the giant. David had great faith, and he did just what he said he would, in the name of God.
The NT reading has the flight to Egypt after the visit of the Wise Men. All are excellent examples of people of faith who were in tune with God. If we pause to pray and listen for that still, small voice within our hearts where Jesus lives, imagine what we could do!
Prayer: I am listening, Lord. Make my steps as sure as David's and Joseph's. I know that all my troubles begin when I stray from You.
Amen
