The way David willingly and courageously confronted Goliath stunned me because he did it out of complete faith.
"... but i come againts you in the name of the Lord Almighty, the God of the Israelites armies..."
1 Samuel 17 : 45

i admire his bravery, so much so that he trusted God so much he pit himself against a person over nine feet tall!
as you can see, it must have been a frightening experience.
You were like a dwarf next to Goliath, yet in terms of faith, you were a giant and Goliath was nothing.
This 'David and Goliath' story is also one of the chapter in David's life that made me amazed. Here is the man who trust completely in God, despite all the outward circumstances. Here is the man who walk by faith and not by sight.
for we walk by faith, not by sight.
~ 2 Corinthians 5 : 7 ~
Despite what all other people said, that it would impossible for David to beat Goliath, He believed that with God on his side, nothing would be impossible. Such an amazing faith!
Quoted from Catherine's
Having 'faith as small as a mustard seed' is what I'm still struggling extremely hard to attain up till now. Logically, it's so much easier to believe what everybody is saying, what our mind is telling us and what our circumstances are showing rather than simply believe in God. Sometimes, it might be very hard to believe in God's promises while our situation is simply telling us that it's just seems impossible. Yet, one thing we shall NOT forget that Our God is God of wonders and miracles DO happen! =)

His faith in GOD also brought David victory over victory during his wartime against Israelites enemies. The secret of his great victory was simply 'rely on the name of the LORD our God', as what he wrote in one of his Psalm.Matthew 17 :20
