The Heart Of A Lion

Before David killed Goliath he attended sheep. He fought his own private battles on his own time when no one was there to see. When he went to send food to his brothers he was not looked at as a man of battle or war. He looked like a little boy. David was angry with Goliath when he heard he was defying the army of the Lord. We all know the rest of the story but within all of us there is David, a young person of courage that can take down a giant. We have giants that we need to take down in our lives. They could be anything that is trying to hinder or hold back the destiny we need to reach as people of faith and just people in general. God called us to do everything with excellence, that includes work, school, whatever the case is we must work hard at everything we do. The small ounce of fear sometimes can blind our faith. David knew who was on his side, but don’t we? Lets pick up our stones and knock our giants down. I can imagine how much fear david had when he fought Goliath, but he also had boldness and anger towards this monster who was just there to oppress the army and people of Israel. He took him down, just as David did I know we can to.

 

I wrote this a while ago but it kind of puts a picture of maybe what David felt before he faced his Giant.

I’m full of anger

They all look at me and doubt my courage

The heart of a lion

Ill overcome his sword 

One stone

One shot

Ill take the kings head

I’m so full of anger

A few more seconds until I let this stone fly

He stands tall and everyone can see

“Oh little me, The Ground Beneath

Shakes my knees”

And the sweat pours down my face

Age is but a number the determining factor I hold deep inside.

I can’t die now

Its time to let the king have his day

Its time to act out my rage
