1 Samuel 17
Goliath was about 9 feet and 9 inches tall. To give you an idea of what that looks like, here's a link to a silent video of a man from the early 1900's that was just a few inches shorter than Goliath:
Add to that, Goliath's armor weighed about 125 pounds. And the tip of his spear was 15 pounds! We get it. This guy is big and really strong!
Saul's entire army is terrified of Goliath.
Then David comes along. David, who is not a soldier. David, who has not trained with weapons. David, who does not even wear armor! He comes with no fear, trusting God to defeat the man who insults Him.
Would you be able to have the same courage David had?
Not only did David have to stand up against Goliath, but he also had to stand up against the doubts of the entire army on his own side!
