Big Vs Small

Today I read probably one of the most famous stories in the bible after Easter and Christmas. The story of David and Goliath. This story is a great story of good verses evil, of the underdog overcoming the bully, of the small person doing something great with God's help.

In 1 Samuel 17:26 David says, "Who is this uncircumcised Philistine that he should defy the armies of the living God?" 
David recognises that Goliath is dishonouring God, and so he wants to stand up for Him. I think we need to get with the programme. We too need to stand up for Justice, to stand up for God, to not be afraid to stand up for Jesus when others say things that are dishonouring to him.
David wasn't afraid, he knew that God was with him, he knew the battle was won. We too need to realise the same. God is with us, he too will help us and lets face it - the battle is already won - read the last chapter of the book! Jesus is victorious! Hallelujah!
