45 David said to the Philistine, “You come against me with sword and spear and javelin, but I come against you in the name of the Lord Almighty, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied. 46 This day the Lord will deliver you into my hands, and I’ll strike you down and cut off your head. This very day I will give the carcasses of the Philistine army to the birds and the wild animals, and the whole world will know that there is a God in Israel. 47 All those gathered here will know that 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.”
I really like this verse a lot. David said: I come in the name of the Lord Almighty. However, it is not confined to just David, all of us come in the name of the Lord Almighty. We all. We share the same power that David used to defeat goliath. We only need to cry out to God and we have His power. We need to know our identity, young David understood that. He understood that he held the power of God. And that
Exodus 14:14
The LORD will fight for you; you need only to be still."
He must have read the verse a lot of times and really believed in the spirit. The strength that David has is admirable, but the strength that he has we all have. That strength is in Christ.
