Use your SWEET spot!

Bible Text: 1 Samuel 17: 38-50

This is the common bible story of David and Goliath. We read about how David triumphed over the giant Goliath but it was because David knew what he had to do.

Sometimes we can feel intimidated doing certain things. Sometimes we may feel like we are inadequate. Think about how David felt standing in front of this giant named Goliath with just a sling. David was motivated because he knew this giant was not going to insult the armies of the living God.

As David prepared to fight, his leader and King, Saul dressed him in his armor.

Then Saul dressed David in his own tunic. He put a coat of armor on him and a bronze helmet on his head. David fastened on his sword over the tunic and tried walking around, because he was not used to them. "I cannot go in these," he said to Saul, "because I am not used to them." So he took them off.

David refused the armor. The armor wasn't his and he knew in order to fight and win against this giant he needed one thing, his sling. He knew his limitations, what he could do and what he needed to do it with. David knew his sweet spot.

When you prepare to do something for God...

Peoples opinions can't determine your decision.
Trust your sweet spot while obeying God's direction.


Principle: We know our sweet spot. You know what you do best.
Do what you do best.
