Have you ever faced something that felt much bigger than you? David did. Goliath was a giant warrior who terrified the army of Israel. David wasn't a soldier like the men around him. He was a young shepherd who had come to the battlefield to deliver food to his brothers. But David knew something the frightened soldiers had forgotten: The size of the problem does not determine the size of our God.
