David and Goliath is more than a story of the small guy overcoming the big

guy. And it’s more than a moral story about the importance of faith. Rather

it is about God being our champion though David. It is about him fighting

for us, him holding our fears, him giving us a way through when we feel

afraid. When we are able to admit our fears and our weakness, God can get

to work. Ultimately David is the foreshadow of our eternal champion Jesus,

who overcomes all that holds us back on the cross. Our challenge is to

bring out fears to him and let him deal with them.
