Heroes in my life

It is amazing how taking part in this blogging competition helps me get back in touch with the Bible. Not to mention, the children's bible. x) i find that the story of David and Goliath never fails to strike me.
The way David willingly and courageously confronted Goliath stunned me because he did it out of complete faith.
"... but i come against you in the name of the Lord Almighty, the God of the Israelite armies..."
1 Samuel 17 : 45

i admire his bravery, so much so that he trusted God so much he pit himself against a person over nine feet tall! the situation might have been like this:

(funny junk)
as you can see, it must have been a frightening experience.

I just feel that David's immense trust in the Lord was an experience that I can learn from.


If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, nothing shall be impossible for you
Matthew 17 :20


David didnt save someone's life, but all of Israel and Judah, so literally he was their hero. however, he is my hero from because David had so much faith in God, something i'm far from. His full faith in God is something i hold in high regard and i use that deed to remind me of how to be a better Christian, to learn to have confidence in the Lord Almighty.
Sometimes when i'm faced with life's problems and it seems like there are no solutions, i draw strength from David, to have a little more faith in God and trust that He will make things right again. Perhaps not immediately, which is hard for me to accept, but that tremendous sureness David possessed helps me to sustain that small trust i have in God.

My hero didnt save my life. Yet, he gave me the courage the lead a better Christian life.
You were like a dwarf next to Goliath, yet in terms of faith, you were a giant and Goliath was nothing. Thank you for teaching us the importance of trusting God and for being a reminder that believing in the Lord, nothing is impossible.
