Sermon Thought of the Week
Wed, Aug 26, 2009
As I’ve been preparing for this weeks sermon I’ve been thinking a lot about the things other people try to place on us that work for them but might not work for you. The passage I’m preaching from is in 1 Samuel and it’s about David fighting Goliath (a giant). At one point, Saul try’s to make David wear his armor and take his weapons. The problem is that the gear doesn’t fit David. Without over spiritualizing the text too much, I think there are a lot of people who will tell you what type of “Armor” you need to be wearing, when all along, God has uniquely designed you for the circumstances you are going through. David, it ends up, didn’t need the armor of Saul, he needed his reliance in God. Perhaps if Saul had relied more on God he wouldn’t have needed the armor as much either. Just a thought…
