pebbles

ben
David was young, small, and seemed frivolous. Goliath was mature, very tall, and powerful. The people believed at that time that Goliath was invincible because of his natural and acquired skills and abilities. But in the story found in the Bible, Goliath lost in just a second with David's sling with a round pebble.Why was that so?

Goliath belittled David's stature. Goliath thought that David was unskillful. Goliath underestimated David's tactics.

David never doubted (in) his own skills. David was confident of losing his opponent. David armed a tiny yet blatantly functioning weapon to fight his oppressor.

We  in our own ways are David. No matter how many Goliaths we encounter in our lives, we fight and continue our battles. Big and troublesome are on our ways and tremendous are yet to come but don't forget that just a sling and small pebble can strike them out. Never undervalue small yet influential qualities we have. These will help us overcome mountainous challenges in our lives. 

Remember: Goliath died with just a small pebble. 

Now, what pebbles do you have in conquering life's demons?
