Introduction

Fear and anxiety are common human emotions.

A. GOLIATH, THE GIANT FEAR MONGER

“Saul and all the Israelites were dismayed and terrified” (v. 11). Dismayed (Hebrew hatat — to be shattered, broken). Terrified (Hebrew yare — filled with terror).

B. DAVID, THE GIANT SLAYER

David rushed toward the giant and fell him with one stone thrown from his sling.

C. THE SECRET OF DAVID’S VICTORY

1. David knew God.
2. David had personally experienced God’s love and power.
3. He had faith in the God he had come to know and experience.

D. APPLICATION

1. Spend time thinking and reflecting about God and turning that into a growing knowledge of God.
2. Remember past experiences of God’s interventions and deliverance.
3. Keep your eyes on God.
4. Learn to reframe what you see.

Conclusion 

Have altars and memorials of God’s interventions. Keep your eyes on Christ. Reframe all your scenes.
