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...

************************************************************
Two Brothers
Then were there brought unto him little children, that he should put his hands on them, and pray: and the disciples rebuked them. (Matthew 18:13)
I have two brothers…
My older brother was mentally handicapped ...
My younger brother had Cystic Fibrosis…
As you might have guessed things around our home were a bit different…
However, to us, this all seemed very natural…
It was not until I was older that I start to notice how “normal people” acted around my brothers…
People would keep their distance…
Even adults were afraid that my brothers might just touch them…
But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven. (Matthew 18:14)
We should not fear these children…
Cystic Fibrosis is not contagious…
Mental issues are not contagious…
Cancer is not contagious…
And he laid his hands on them, and departed thence. (Matthew 18:15)
These children need more than just medical attention…
They also need a loving hand to hold…
