A PURPOSEFUL LIFE; OLD TESTAMENT STORIES 

                      ONE SLING SHOT WILL DO 

                                      PART XI 

"I, David, the youngest son of Jesse, have just told the giant Goliath, who is facing me at the battle field in the Valley of Elah, that he will be defeated...Moreover, I have told him that the Philistine army will be defeated as well.... I then knew it was time to put action to my words.... Now I am not a soldier... So I do not own a sword or a spear... But being a shepherd I own a bag and a sling... In that bag were five smooth stones... I had collected them earlier today... It was time for me to use one of these stones... I carefully selected one... I then used my sling to point that stone to just the right spot in the forehead of the giant... And I prayed to the God of Israel to direct my stone as I shot it... And He did....As soon as the stone hit the specific spot in the giant's forehead, he fell down... God made sure the stone hit just the right target.".....Please read the typed out attachment when you will learn that God directed David's stone to hit Goliath at just the right spot in his forehead.

It is time for David to prove the truth of his words to the giant Goliath that he is going to be killed as you can read in 1 Samuel 17:49 -50

Reaching into his bag and taking out a stone. he slung it and struck the Philistine on the forehead. The stone sank into his forehead and he fell fact down to the ground. So David triumphed over the Philistine with a sling and a stone,without a sword in his hand he struck down the Philistine and killed him.

And so God's instrument, David, kills the giant Goliath with nothing more than a stone.
