David reassured Saul by recounting what had happened with the lion and the bear. Was he boasting? No. David knew how he had won those battles. He said: "Jehovah, who rescued me from the claws of the lion and the bear, he is the one who will rescue me from the hand of this Philistine." Resigned at last, Saul responded: "Go, and may Jehovah be with you." - 1 SAMUEL 17:37.
Would you like to have faith like David's Note, then, that David's faith was not mere idealism or wishful thinking. He had faith in his God because of knowledge and experience. He knew that Jehovah as a loving Protector and a Keeper of promises. If we want to acquire such faith, we need to keep learning about the God of the Bible. As we live by what we learn, will find that the good results will likewise strengthen our faith. - HEBREWS 11:1.
Next time: "JEHOVAH WILL SURRENDER YOU INTO MY HAND"
