1Sa 17:39 And David fastened his sword to his armor, and he tried to walk, for he had not tested them. And David said to Saul, “I cannot walk with these, for I have not tested them.” So David took them off.<\/p>\n
David versus Goliath battle is a message of hope and encouragement to many and especially when facing big challenges. It amazing to note that it was Saul who armed David. However David was unaccustomed to such armor and it would have been an encumbrance to him.<\/p>\n
David realized that what worked for Saul would not work for him. Instead of putting on Saul’s royal armor, he took weapons which were familiar to him. A sling and five smooth stones were enough to accomplish the assignment.<\/p>\n
We are unique and God is dealing with us uniquely. We are original fulfilling specific purposes for our being. We should always endeavor to become the best of who God made us to be. Imitation is limitation.<\/p>\n
