“The LORD Be With You”
David said to Saul, “Let no one
lose heart on account of this Philistine; your servant will go and fight him.”
Saul replied, “You are not able
to go out against this Philistine and fight him; you are only a young man, and
he has been a warrior from his youth.”
But David said to Saul, “Your
servant has been keeping his father’s sheep. When a lion or a bear came and
carried off a sheep from the flock, I went after it, struck it and rescued the
sheep from its mouth. When it turned on me, I seized it by its hair, struck it
and killed it. Your servant has killed both the lion and the bear; this
uncircumcised Philistine will be like one of them, because he has defied the
armies of the living God. The LORD who rescued me from the paw of the lion and
the paw of the bear will rescue me from the hand of this Philistine.”
Saul said to David, “Go, and
the LORD be with you.”
1 Samuel 17:32-37
Do you sometimes feel like a
penny? Something so small people don’t even bother picking it up off the ground?
If David had felt that way he
never could have slain Goliath.
It’s easy to feel like a penny
in a trillion dollar deficit. But when we obey the LORD in every circumstance,
it all adds up. Collectively, our acts of faith, large or small, make a big difference.
And every penny counts.
Courage will follow when faith takes the lead.
