“Then he took his staff in his hand, chose five smooth stones from the stream, put them in the pouch of his shepherd’s bag and, with his sling in his hand, approached the Philistine.” - 1 Samuel 17:40
David tried on the king’s armor, but it didn’t fit. Instead, he prevailed with just a stone, a sling, and full reliance on God. The giant was fiercely bigger than David, but not bigger than God. We often face overwhelming trials; it can be tempting to search for something new to fix them, but what helped before? Was it remembering God never forsakes us? Comfort from a loved one? Laughter, tears, or quiet reflection? Let’s use what we have and fully rely on God. He will surely help!
