Re:Verse passage – 1 Samuel 17:38-51 (day three)
“And David put his hand into his bag and took from it a stone and slung it, and struck the Philistine on his forehead.”
Saul and the army of Israel saw a physically imposing battle-hardened vanguard of the Philistine juggernaut. David saw a Philistine military vulnerable enough to present as their best move an over-confident blowhard past his prime and unprotected against severe head trauma. If God does not see as man sees, and if David was a man who followed that pattern — “after God’s own heart” — then this is what that looks like in action. May we learn from God to see like that.
