Still had shepherdly duties
Challenged every day and night

Misjudged motives
God over safety
What have I said wrong?
Don't you guys see a cause?
How can you stand back and let this happen?
Concerned about God's cause
Not personal safety like the others
David could have walked away
It's a wrap

Count it all joy
My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing the testing of your faith produces patience. But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.
Proper perspective
No armor necessary
Insulted
Your sword and spear vs. My God
You will pay with your life
The Lord will deliver
So the Earth may know
The battle is the Lord's
Didn't stand a chance
Closing
David was successful in this battle because:
He believed
He had tested
Ingredients:
Pure motives
Heart for God
Closing
Let God lead
Didn't rely on the flesh
Willing to stand alone
