In the Valley of Elah two champions face off. One represents everything the world admires. The other represents everything God loves. He is referred to as a man after God's own heart (Acts 13:22). 1 Samuel 17 showcases the triumph of Humility over pride and ego. In David's victory over Goliath the words of Scripture ring true: “Pride goes before destruction, And a haughty spirit before a fall" (Proverbs 16:18). “The Lord lifts up the humble; He casts the wicked down to the ground” (Psalm 147:6).

Likewise you younger people, submit yourselves to your elders. Yes, all of you be submissive to one another, and be clothed with humility, for “God resists the proud, But gives grace to the humble.” Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time, casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you. (1 Peter 5:5-7) |
