Reading 1 Samuel 17:1-31 (NLT) ~ Scripture reading followed by discussion. The Philistines gather an army and Saul responds. Goliath’s defiance. Defining the people of Israel as “servants of Saul.” Goliath’s pride comes from his statue, in himself. David is the only one with boldness and confidence in the LORD. Saul’s reward for someone to step up and fight Goliath. The People allowed themselves to be immobilized by the words and appearance of Goliath. David’s youthful perspective, the child of God relying on the Father.
