In 1st Samuel 17 v 20 we read that David left his sheep.
“And David rose up early in the morning, and left the sheep with a keeper, and took, and went, as Jesse had commanded him……..”
In verse 22 he left his carriage (or the stuff he had with him).
“And David left his carriage in the hand of the keeper of the carriage….”
And in verse 39 he left behind Saul’s armour.
“And David girded his sword upon his armour, and he assayed to go; for he had not proved it. And David said unto Saul, I cannot go with these; for I have not proved them. And David put them off him.”
Battling with giants will require us to be as focussed as David was. It may require us to leave some things behind.
David was eager in all he did. In verse 22, he RAN to the army.
“And David left his carriage in the hand of the keeper of the carriage, and ran into the army, and came and saluted his brethren.”
In verse 48 he RAN towards Goliath.
“And it came to pass, when the Philistine arose, and came and drew nigh to meet David, that David hasted, and ran toward the army to meet the Philistine.”
David was a man with a CAUSE. In verse 29 we read,
“And David said, What have I now done? Is there not a cause ? “
There IS a CAUSE today – lost souls !
Souls are crying, men are dying,
Won’t you lead them to the Cross ?
Go and find them, seek to win them,
Win the lost, at any cost !
