David (later King of Israel) was a young shepherd boy who took on the champion of the Phillistines – by any measure it is an unfair battle.

(The story is in the Old Testament in 1 Sam 17.)

There are some things in our society that are big and scary: on the face of it, there seems to be an similar unequal battle. So do we run away from the fight? Knowing that God is with us; that He has a plan, like David we can run into the battle.

• David knew who he was – didn’t need extra bits and pieces.
• He knew he committed to the fight – so he ran into it.
• He knew that he had God with him.
