Alice - David - Goliath - The Living God



Monday night, Alice asked me about the mural of David & Goliath on the wall. Unlike so many of us, she did not grow up going to Sunday school. I had the great privilege of explaining the story of David & Goliath to her for the first time. It was absolutely incredible watching her jaw drop and her eyes grow wider. The youngest brother, a shepherd, with a rock defeated an enemy that the entire Israelite army ran from. Why? Because David had faith in the Living God. I have never felt the weight of this story like I did Monday night while watching Alice’s face. This is the same God who’s called Alice into a relationship. The same God who, in the midst of my rebellion, intervened and rescued me from death. Whew!
