Legends of History writes “The biblical story of David and Goliath is one of the most famous tales found in the story of the Old Testament. The narrative reflects our own individual struggle throughout life, not just necessarily from a religious point of view, but in a more human sense.
We all have challenges to overcome and sometimes those challenges may dwarf us and seem impossible to defeat. Because of this, many are able to resonate with David – the poor shepherd boy who, equipped with just a sling and a stone, was able to successfully slay the giant Goliath and overcome his personal challenge in what was probably one of the biggest upsets in the valley of the Philistines.
So taken are we by the courage, resolve and faith of David and how it might apply to us, that often, we might overlook the actual villain of which he deposed. Goliath.”
