David and Goliath
David and Goliath
When David heard Goliath bring
God’s name disgrace.
He wondered if any man would
challenge him, face to face.
All the men in Israel were scared,
and not this brave.
For if they lost, they’d be
the Philistines’ slave.
King Saul wondered if anyone
would challenge this man.
David accepted—knowing
this was God’s land.
With a small stone he
chose from a river bed,
He faced Goliath, with God placing
the stone into his head.
Perhaps there’s a GIANT in your
life that’s causing you fits.
Your trust must be in Jesus.
This--you must admit.
Lust, anger, pride—
whatever your giant might be.
Defeating this giant, with God’s help,
will bring you the victory!
