“Then David took his shepherd’s staff, selected five smooth stones from the brook, and put them in the pocket of his shepherd’s pack, and with his sling in his hand approached Goliath.” - 1 Samuel 17:40What Is the Story of David and Goliath About?The story of David and Goliath is one of the most beloved in the Bible. It reminds us that with God, all things are possible. David’s victory was not mainly about courage, strategy, or self-confidence; it was about trusting the living God when everyone else saw only the size of the giant. This story is so famous that the expression “David vs. Goliath” has become part of our mainstream conversation. There’s something that resonates within us when we see an individual or sports team that, by all accounts, simply can’t win, go on to defeat a giant of an opponent. And it’s why we as a society love rags-to-riches stories, like Phyllis Diller, Steve Jobs, and J.K. Rowling.Photo credit: ©Unsplash/ Eric Ward
