There is something to be said about the confidence that comes when you know you have someone powerful in your corner, ready and willing to have your back.

I imagine that was the confidence David had when he walked onto a field with only a sling and a few stones to face down a mighty giant.

The Bible makes it pretty clear that David wasn’t anything too special by the world’s standards.

He was small - He couldn’t fill out a grown man’s armor. He was the youngest. He was often left out and often left alone.

Only David was never alone because he clearly had a rich friendship with God. He knew who God was, and that made him brave.

Before he faced a giant, he had fought a lion and a bear…which is wild.

Nevertheless, when you have confidence in who your Father is, and you know that God has your back, suddenly that giant you are facing doesn’t seem quite so big.

I don’t know your giant, but I know your God, and He is on your side.

So in this study, let’s live bold and brave lives as we go in the name of Him who has all power in heaven and on earth.
