Like to go say a few words like I'm sorry, it's OK.
With what we have been speaking about.
And these few words are in First Samuel chapter 17.
And I'm sorry, I thought our brother finished.
Connection with David Smith Street over Goliath.
The three to peel these versions without much comment.
Says it when the words verse 31 were heard which David Spade, they rehearsed them before Saul and he sent for him. David said to Saul, at no man's heart failed because of him. Thy servant will go and fight with this Philistine.
So Saul says to David, Thou art not able to go against this Philistine to fight with them, for thou art what a youth, and he a man of war from a Jew. So David replies to Saul. He speaks about two instances where a lion and a bear aimed to threaten that flock.
And David being the true shepherd.
That Good Shepherd defending that flock, and the lion and the bear.
We're both planned.
And verse 37 says David said, moreover, the Lord that delivered me out of the fourth lion, not of the fall of the bear, he will deliver me out of the hand of this Philistine. And Saul said to David, go and the Lord be with thee. And it's the next few verses that I would just like to look at Paul arm David.
With his armor.
And he put his helmet of grass upon his head. Also he armed him with a coat of mail. And David Gerdes has soared upon his armor, and he is saved to go, for he had not proved him. And David sent us all. I cannot go with these, for I have not proved them. And David put them off.
What a lesson that is today.
How often we sometimes try to go against the enemy using another person sword.
Using another person's armor, but David realized that he could not go.
In the confidence of the flesh, here he had the very armor.
Of King Saul. I'm sure many others would have been proud to go against the enemy in that code of mail using that mighty sword that Saul had used.
But we see that David defeats the enemy using those five smooth stones that were in the brook. David takes the sword at the end, does he not?
In verse 51 Says therefore David and Rand, and stood upon the Philistine, and took his sword, and threw it out of the sheath, and slew him.
And cut off his head there are. And when the Philistines saw their champion was there, they fled. So what a lesson to us. David did not go against this enemy in the confidence of his flash. He did not go as saved or armed in the armor of soul.
He did not go initially using.
Soul Sword.
But he selected that which God had in mind for that particular occasion. So might we not have confidence in the flesh? And may we be ever before the Lord independence upon Himself?
We sing that and let's be the victor's name who brought the fight along.
