David goes into his fight with Goliath in a way no-one else expects, with weapons seeming incapable of taking down the heavily protected warrior apart from some incredible luck. But David isn’t relying on luck. He goes trusting his God and his trust is rewarded. Goliath falls, struck by a single stone. Saul and his top general may have failed to recognise who David was, but now it’s clear: a man close to God. David’s words and actions show this deeply: he knows his victory is the Lord’s.
