And David was a kid!! Geez! His father sent him with food for his brothers who were fighting against the Phillistines. When David got within ear shot of their encampment he heard Goliath proclaiming victory over them, "they would forever be slaves....." Then David arrived and observed the Israelite army...cringing at every word and paralized with fear! What did that little shepherd boy David do? He reminded them who they were! "You're God's Army!! God is on our side, He will win this battle!" They lead him to King Saul's tent when he said he would fight Goliath. Saul told David to wear his armor...too big, too heavy, impossible! Coward King Saul. David refused the armor and went out to handle the giant who was sure he would singlehandedly kill the Israelite army. David retrieved 5 stones from the brook and loaded his sling...ONE STONE...ONE! David took aim and that ONE STONE struck Goliath and did the job an entire army could not! Remember, Goliath had continued to remind the frightened and trembling Israelite army, that they would be defeated and become their slaves. But God! When the stone struck Goliath between the eyes he FELL FORWARD...not backwards....

In death Goliath bowed down to the Israelite army! David's chastisement of the army of Israel surely stung! God was victorious because David, a young boy, trusted God's promises and he defeated the giant Goliath, because he believed he could. God fights our battles, we act on God's direction.

I continue to pray for those in the DC gulag. I pray that God will strengthen them, watch over them and fill them with strength to withstand every arrow! I pray for those who persecute them. I pray for the justice system. I pray that through God's infinite power and mercy, they will be vindicated! I trust God. I know He will right the wrongs. I pray for righteous lawyers and judges to spring up among them as God can indeed change hearts! I pray that those suffering will be encouraged, will not lose hope, and that their resolve will be strengthened beyond any measure one can imagine! Let the light shine into their prison cells and all that hides in the dark be brought out! That truth will prevail!

There is power in prayer. Too many have abandoned prayer… and God.
