The familiar story of David and Goliath is far more than a tale about courage or overcoming the odds. At the heart of the battle stands the living God, whose power and glory are greater than every giant. David steps onto the battlefield with confidence not in himself, but in the Lord, declaring that "the battle is the Lord's" so that the whole world will know there is a God in Israel. Ultimately, David points beyond himself to Jesus Christ, the greater David, who has defeated sin, death, and Satan. Because of His victory, believers can face life's giants with faith, hope, and confidence in the living God.
