Peter Roselle: Removing Saul's Armor (1 Samuel 17:39)

We each face choices every day over whether we will "walk by the Spirit or walk by our flesh" (Romans 8:13). Here we compare two Kings: David and Saul. In 1 Samuel 13:14 we read that David was a man after God's own heart. So, in some ways David's example is closer to walking in the Spirit. Saul, on the other hand, makes dozens of fleshly decisions, including seeking the advice of a witch. Saul represents those parts of our heart that are led by the flesh. In 1 Samuel 17 King Saul wants David to wear his (Saul's) armor to face Goliath. David tries on the armor but it doesn’t fit – plus, he has not tested it. David knew that his only chance to kill Goliath was to use the skill he had honed with his sling while serving as his father's shepherd. We must reject Saul's armor in our lives if we expect to kill giants. Our identity must be firmly rooted in Christ through the Holy Spirit. We don't have to compare ourselves to others or envy their gifts. God has blessed each of us with a unique mix of gifts. David knew that God had given him victories with his sling so was able to RUN to the battle with Goliath, armed with the weapon of warfare God had prepared him to use.

ENJOY!
