1 Samuel 17:1-58 | Andrew Murch | The lesson we learn from the narrative of David and Goliath is that we need a Savior. And what David realizes more than his own people is that the Lord God is his Savior. Our Lord does not save with sword or spear, man or military, wit or white-knuckle strength, grit or grime. This is where the gospel shines through most clearly. The Lord is going to save his people. Oftentimes, He does this through measures that both the world and human wisdom think are folly. God opposes the proud, and gives grace to the humble. This is something that Saul cannot grasp, and many of the Kings to come in the narrative of the Old Testament miss as well. God is sovereign over all and he alone will save his people from their despair. It is Him who we put our trust in, and not man. We don’t muster up the strength to “fight our Goliath” but we submit in trust to the one who is never defeated.
