The Kitchen Table Devotional

King Dave Day 38

Then David spoke to the men who were standing by him, saying, “What will be done for the man who kills this Philistine and takes away the reproach from Israel? For who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should taunt the armies of the living God?” ²⁷ The people answered him in accord with this word, saying, “Thus it will be done for the man who kills him.”

 1 Samuel 17:26-27

Don’t accept the same excuses as the world around you.  Look at how David describes this giant; he’s a Philistine, a reproach, and uncircumcised.  Goliath was nothing more than an ignorant bully.  You don’t have to fear the same things everyone else does when you’ve got God’s word on life.  Not once does he mention this giant’s size and armor.  This guy is a reproach who needs to be put in his place.  Instead of running from your reproach, let God’s revelation become your reality.
