The Philistine said to David, Am I a dog, that you come to me with sticks? The Philistine cursed David by his gods.
"David lived by a very simple principle: nothing to prove, nothing to lose. He didn’t try to impress anybody in the army of Israel. He didn’t try to impress his brothers. He didn’t even try to impress God. He just ran to meet Goliath." [Note: Swindoll, p. 46.]
