David Volunteers to Fight
David arrives at the battlefield carrying food for his brothers, as his father had instructed him. As he approaches, he notices the tension in the air—soldiers murmuring in fear, their eyes fixed on a towering warrior in the distance. This is Goliath, the mighty Philistine giant, who has been challenging the Israelite army day after day, mocking them and their God.
As David listens to Goliath’s arrogant taunts, something stirs deep inside him—a fire of courage and determination. Unlike the rest of the soldiers, who shrink back in fear, David refuses to be intimidated. He turns to the men around him and asks boldly, “Who is this Philistine that he dares to insult the armies of the living God?”
The soldiers exchange uneasy glances, their faces filled with doubt and defeat. They have heard Goliath’s threats many times and have seen no one brave enough to face him. But David’s confidence remains unshaken. While others see an unbeatable enemy, he sees an opportunity to prove that true strength comes from faith, not size or weapons.
