After his incredible defeat of the monstrous Goliath, David is thrust into nation-wide fame and success, but as Proverbs 27:21 says, “the crucible is for silver and the furnace is for gold, and a man is tested by his praise.” How will David, a man after God’s own heart, handle his newfound celebrity status?

Genuine salvation will always produce genuine transformation. 2 Cor. 5:17 says " therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come!" (ESV). The moment we are justified (saved) is the same moment we begin the journey of sanctification. We leave our 'old' life behind and begin our 'new' life following Christ. Sin still tempts, but as we walk in obedience growing in faith and holiness, and abiding in Christ, we sin less! We carry on in the knowledge that one day soon, we will be made perfectly sinless in His Presence forever.

As we continue in our study of David, we arrive at one of the most famous stories in Scripture: the mighty battle of David versus Goliath. But this awesome, powerful story is really about God and His glory versus the sin and evil that plagues our world. Rest in the knowledge that no matter how gargantuan your enemy, if you have the Lord behind you, you cannot lose!
