If we're not prepared to fight the smaller battles of life, how will we be prepared for the bigger ones that come our way? We only have to look to the example of David in Scripture as someone who faithfully served God throughout his life, perfecting his skills and protecting his sheep from bears and lions and other outside threats. When it came time to face Goliath, David was prepared to slay the giant, because God had equipped him all along with the tools he needed to win the battle.
