Another action packed story of God's mighty men! While personally going through a time of trial this short story has lifted my spirit. God promises to show us through our battles but it is usually not easy,  it is often very hard.In David's early days as a boy he comes to know the covering of the Lord. After being annointed, David has felt a rush of heat overcome his body, but he does not yet know it is strength from Yahweh. On a hot day of sheparding his fathers sheep David is told by a mysterious warrior that he will be tested and will know battle all the days of his life and he will conquer in the name of Yahweh. David is amazed and afraid at the same time. In the covering of the shade David's flock is attacked by a bear and he must save his sheep, after all he is being tested. It is not an easy feat and now a lion is on the prowl ready for attack. After this there are two more attackers on the flock and David fights them to the death with the strength given to him by God but he losses one of his fathers sheep. The death of something you care for can fill you with defeat even after victory, especially when ones family does not believe your story. In the end David finds comfort knowing that the one he is to please is the Lord. David calls this strength given to him by God, the Covering.
