The Peril of unbelief

“Take care, brothers and sisters, that there not be in any one of you a wicked, unbelieving heart [which refuses to trust and rely on the Lord, a heart] that turns away from the living God. But continually encourage one another every day, as long as it is called “Today” [and there is an opportunity], so that none of you will be hardened [into settled rebellion] by the deceitfulness of sin [its cleverness, delusive glamour, and sophistication]. For we [believers] have become partakers of Christ [sharing in all that the Messiah has for us], if only we hold firm our newborn confidence [which originally led us to Him] until the end, while it is said, “Today [while there is still opportunity] if you hear His voice, Do not harden your heart, as when they provoked Me [in the rebellion in the desert at Meribah].” For who were they who heard and yet provoked Him [with rebellious acts]? Was it not all those who came out of Egypt led by Moses? And with whom was He angry for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose dead bodies were scattered in the desert? And to whom did He swear [an oath] that they would not enter His rest, but to those who disobeyed [those who would not listen to His word]? So we see that they were not able to enter [into His rest—the promised land] because of unbelief and an unwillingness to trust in God.”
‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭3‬:‭12‬-‭19‬ ‭AMP‬‬

The story of David and Goliath is one of the most well-known stories in the Bible. Whether you are a Christian or not, you’ve likely heard the story.

THE STORY OF DAVID AND GOLIATH

As 1 Samuel 17 begins we find the nation of Israel at war with the Philistines. The two nations gathered on opposite sides of a valley and prepared to fight. But the Philistines had a secret weapon: Goliath. In 1 Samuel 17:4-7, we see this fearsome giant described as a mighty warrior.
Every day the 9-foot tall Goliath would go out on the battlefield and mock the Israelites and their God. He would call them to fight, but King Saul and all the Israelites were terrified and did nothing. This continued on for forty days.
In 1 Samuel 17:12, we are introduced to David. In the chapter prior David was anointed king, but currently he was still a humble shepherd boy who tended his father’s sheep while his brothers were off fighting. But what he lacked in military training he made up for with exceptional courage and unwavering faith in God.
One day David was sent to the frontlines by his dad to bring supplies and report on the battle. As David approached the frontline he witnessed Goliath taunting the Israelite army and mocking his God. He wasn’t having it, so he marched straight to King Saul and persuaded him to let him fight Goliath. (1 Samuel 17:20-37)
David refuses Saul’s armor and all the traditional weaponry and instead chooses to fight Goliath with only a slingshot and five stones. As David marches confidently on the battlefield, Goliath can’t believe it. The stark physical differences are hard to ignore; Goliath towers over this young shepherd boy. (1 Samuel 17:38-44)
Goliath mocks David, but David is unshaken. He loads one stone and skillfully hurls it toward Goliath. The stone collides with Goliath’s forehead, bringing the giant crashing to the ground. David then picked up Goliath’s sword and cut off his head.
The nation of Israel won the battle all because the unsuspecting shepherd boy was willing to trust God and go where he led.

Now that we know the story of David and Goliath, let’s look at what it teaches us about our lives and faith.

We live in an information age where oftentimes people believe that the pursuit of knowledge is the key to living a better life. Knowledge can be very helpful, but a complete life only comes from knowing God. The more we know Him, the more we will want to become like Him. The more we become like Him, the more our faith grows in Him. The more our faith grows in Him, the more we will want to, and be able to, turn away from the world and draw the world to the Father.

I knew right away in my early walk with God that I needed to know Him personally. I came to know too that a search for knowledge about addiction, as beneficial as some of it can be, in and of itself, wasn’t going to fix my addiction issues. I needed to grow closer to God and partner with Him to overcome my addiction. Intimacy with God empowered me into effective action steps.

Faith in God, even the smallest amount of faith, is the essential first step in coming to know God. The more we get to know God, the more we feel His grace and compassion, and our faith grows. As our faith in God grows, His presence empowers us to take the action we need to live free.

Prayer Tip

Ask God to show you simple ways to put your faith into action. You don’t need to start with massive leaps of faith. Start with small and simple acts. Begin by asking God to help you step out of your comfort zone, and follow Him as He leads you into an ever-growing and active faith.

Action Steps

Facing your challenges with God as your partner is “faith in action,” and it’s a great place to start. Find a way to, and take a step deeper into freedom today. Act with faith as you feel inspired to make a phone call to someone, give someone a ride somewhere, or call someone and ask for their help. Whatever simple step of active faith you engage in, it is a step in the right direction.

If you've got pain - He's a pain taker
If you feel lost - He's a way maker
If you need freedom or savin'
He's a prison-shaking Savior
If you've got chains - He's a chain breaker
