A PURPOSEFUL LIFE; OLD TESTAMENT STORIES

I, David, the youngest son of Jesse, am here at the battle field in the Valley of Elah.... The Israeli army is in battle with the Philistine army.... But the Israeli army has just run away in fear.... The reason they have run away is the intimidating shout of a Philistine giant named Goliath....But the Israeli army needs to remember that they are not just any army..... They are the army of the living God.... I believe my God has sent me here to show them....I have just told them that this giant is nothing more than an uncircumcised Philistine and can easily be defeated.... The Lord has put it on my heart as well to put actions to my words.... However, I am not a soldier so I will not fight him with the weaponry used by soldiers.... I will fight him with the kind of weaponry I use as a shepherd... I will use a sling and a stone... And I believe my God will guide the stone that I will use to the exact location in the body of this uncircumcised giant.... He is so big that it will be impossible to miss him... He will be dead this very day... For my God will have the victory... And the Israeli army will once again know they are the army of the living God.".....Please read the typed out attachment when David, the youngest son of Jesse, goes to find the specific weaponry he needs to fight this uncircumcised giant named Goliath....

It is time for David, the youngest son of Jesse, to put into practice what he has said so he goes to find the kind of weaponry he can use as a shepherd to successfully deal with this uncircumcised Philistine giant once for all as you can read in I Samuel 17:40

Then he took his staff in his hand, choose five smooth stones from the stream, put them in his shepherd's bag and with his sling in his hand, approached the Philistine.

After David has found his unusual weaponry, he does not wait for Goliath to come to him but readily approaches him, fully confident that his God will be with him as he comes nearer to this enemy of the Israeli army. It is time for the Israeli army to remember who they really are; the army of the living God.
