David and Goliath

So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and with a stone, and struck the Philistine and killed him. There was no sword in the hand of David. Then David ran and stood over the Philistine and took his sword and drew it out of its sheath and killed him and cut off his head with it. When the Philistines saw that their champion was dead, they fled.  And the men of Israel and Judah rose with a shout and pursued the Philistines as far as Gath and the gates of Ekron, so that the wounded Philistines fell on the way from Shaaraim as far as Gath and Ekron. And the people of Israel came back from chasing the Philistines, and they plundered their camp. And David took the head of the Philistine and brought it to Jerusalem, but he put his armor in his tent.

1 Samuel 17:50-54

Remember when Matt Chandler scolded us that we “aren’t David”? Of course we’re not, but we sure should emulate his virtue and humble determination. David’s story is one of the most iconic in the bible. His slaying of Goliath exemplifies righteousness prevailing over evil. Facing insurmountable odds, alone, as the courage of the Israelite army had fallen away, a young David declared his faith in God’s provision to deliver the victory and annihilate his foe.

In 1866, an artist named Gustave Doré, famously known for his illustrated Bible, captured this legendary tale depicting David holding the slain Goliath’s head. This event triumphantly signaled to both the Philistines and the Israelites that the battle truly belongs to the Lord. The spirit behind Doré’s work is represented in this striking die-struck pin that you can wear with the same confidence.
