Old Testament
**************************************************************
The Faith to have Courage
Then said David to the Philistine, Thou comest to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a shield: but I come to thee in the name of the Lord of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom thou hast defied. (1 Samuel 17:45)
This is not where the story begins...
David did not see Goliath and suddenly have the courage and the faith to pick up a sling and go out and battle with a giant…
Thy servant slew both the lion and the bear: and this uncircumcised Philistine shall be as one of them, seeing he hath defied the armies of the living God.
(1 Samuel 17:36)
Even before this…
How many hours David must have spent standing out in the middle of a field with a sling in his hand and a pile of rocks at his feet...
We have to wonder how many times he missed that tree...
How many long dark nights David must have spent lying awake listening to the wolves howl...
We have to wonder how many times he must have prayed for courage...
David said moreover, The Lord that delivered me out of the paw of the lion, and out of the paw of the bear, he will deliver me out of the hand of this Philistine. And Saul said unto David, Go, and the Lord be with thee. (1 Samuel 17:37)
David did not only have courage to face Goliath because he knew God would be there...
He had courage because he knew God had always been there...

Faith of a Child
And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
(Matthew 18: 3-4)(cd1)
When I was a child I would watch the snow fall and my mother would tell me "God created the snow for us"...
With the faith of a child I believed...
When I was a child I would climb a tree and my mother would tell me "God created that tree for us"...
With the faith of a child I believed...
When I was a child I would wish upon the first star of the night and my mother would tell me "God created the stars in the sky for us"...
With the faith of a child I believed...
Then my teacher told me that snow comes from the clouds and I began to question my faith...
Because I had some doubts...
Then my teacher told me that trees come from seeds and my faith became weak...
Because I had even more doubts...
Then my teacher told me that stars are balls of burning gas far away and I lost my faith...
Because I was filled with doubts...
Then one crystal clear night I stood on the side of a mountain, above snow covered trees, under the shimmering glow of the Milky Way...
A voice deep inside me said "God created the heavens and the earth" and with the faith of a child I believed...
For me there will never be another doubt...
