Young David’s victory over the Philistine giant Goliath is one of the most beloved stories in the Bible. Almost everyone knows it, but we often misunderstand its point. David and Goliath is not a story about how we can defeat the giants in our own lives with enough ingenuity, courage, and self-esteem. Instead, it is a story about God, and how He always defeats His enemies. Those who know and trust Him have the privilege of participating in His victories. Therefore, you and I can serve and proclaim Him boldly, without fear of death, Satan, or any other enemy who might line up against us.
