to fight the battles of life. There are “giants” stalking through this land. We need courage to overcome sin and selfishness. We need a love for right eousness and a hatred for the world and its secular sinfulness. God is no less powerful today than He was in David’s time. He is the same yester day, today and forever. We need to apply this story to our lives. Realize that God takes the little things to confound the mighty. He can take you and make you a valiant witness for the truth no matter where you are or your circumstances in life. You can be a “more than conqueror.” May God give us courage to be as David: a victor in the time of seem ing defeat, despite all kinds of op position. He came through not some how but triumphantly! It can be the same for you today as you wholly and fully trust Him. * * * One becomes a Christian not by trying, but simply by trusting. * * * Giving is not just a way of raising money; it is God's way of raising men. * * •______
David humbly answered, “I am the son of thy servant Jesse, the Bethle- hemite.” To me this story speaks one great truth which is simply courage with a capital “C.” It is pathetic that in the church today, despite many tal ents and abilities, coupled with gad- getry and promotion, we still shrink RICH OR POOR I wonder what a millionaire Must feel like when it's time To leave this world and $11 its wealth With nothing, not a dime! It must be awful standing there, When you have had so much; Especially if you've only lived For money, fame and such. It isn't what you've had that counts, Or what you've left behind; It's what you've done with what you've hand For God and all mankind. For money has no value when Before the Lord we stand; It's too late then to give to those Who need a helping hand. It's easy to condemn the rich, When most of us are poor; But whether we be poor or rich, There's one thing that's for sure: We'd better settle what we owe To God for Calvary, Where Jesus died and shed His blood For all humanity. There's not a soul who ever lived, God's love could not afford It's free to all and without price: Faith in a risen Lord. So if you are a millionaire Or from the common set. Invest for God in souls of men, And you'll have no regret. — Walt Huntley from the real job for the Lord with craven hearts. We do have education, methods and ideas, but still fear needs to be replaced by courage. The way we get it is to pray. David peti tioned and God answered his prayers. If you and I pray and obey, any thing can happen. We need courage
