David vs Goliath

Thursday, September 1st, 2005

Everybody must’ve heard the story of David vs Goliath… Goliath the champion of the Phillistines, a very big and strong man, was about to fight the champion of Israelites. Saul as the king of Israelites should be the one who fight Goliath. But David, instead of Saul, just an ordinary shepherd boy, came to the front and defeated Goliath just with 5 stones! David was successful because he depended on God. While the Israelites depended on this king to bring upon their victory.

Nowadays, many ppl associate themselves as David, who depends on God and with the 5 stones of faith,love,hope,or whatever it is, will be able to overcome any obstacles with God’s help.

However, after Focus Team yesterday, the whole idea seems to be disrupted. David was associated with Jesus, both were anointed as the King, both were appointed by God, both were from the Judah tribe, David defeated Goliath and Jesus defeated Satan.

If that so, we shouldn’t associate ourselves as David, coz we’re not worthy to be associated as Jesus! We should be the Israelites, who depend on their king. Nonetheless, the Israelites at that time asked for a king who can represent them, which basically rejecting God as their king. Well… if we apply that story, we are Israelites who depend on their king, but basically rejecting God?

hahahaha…. I know that we shouldn’t just take the story straightly like that, i think it’s not like that at all… Can we make another story, that is we substitute the king  = Jesus who is God himself, so we are the Israelites who depend on the king Jesus, who is God himself, so we’re not rejecting God, but implicably depend on God?

Hohohoho…. seems good?? :)
