I Samuel 17: "but i come against you in the name of the Lord.." ----April 3, 2011

This was an inspiring account to read.  For as long as I can remember, I've loved rooting for the underdogs.  There is something so heartwarming to see someone who has struggled for so long overcome in the end.  Although Samuel 17 foreshadows jealousy and spite from King Saul, the overall message I got from it was that to put your full faith in God was to be unstoppable. 

Personally, the story of David's success leads back to the journey I am going through.  I feel the struggle like Moses and David do but I hope to overcome like they eventually do.  I have faith that with more self-discovery, my faith and trust in God will be unfaltering, and then I will in-turn have the full strength of God behind me like David does.  To have that security brings a sort of hope to me that I want/need to strive towards.
