About this listen

In the story of David and Goliath, we see that fear had become the common currency of Israel. They become immobilized by the taunts of a single man. Enter David. Eugene Peterson says of Israel- they have a "failure of imagination." But David has a God-dominated imagination.

We also have a problem imagining that God can use small things to accomplish big things. Saul has a Goliath-drenched imagination. But David has the Spirit of God. He goes out to fight Goliath proclaiming the Lord's name.

"... It is not by sword or spear that the Lord saves; for the battle is the Lord's, and he will give all of you into our hands." 1 Samuel 17:47

The Lord will deliver us as well. We will have opposition, but it is God who saves. We can't let our weak imaginations limit what God does in our lives.
