Unintentionally Awesome
The setup
Generational enemies, one more round in years of conflict
Enter the champion
Goliath was a monster, 9 feet or so tall
…and strong
125 pounds of chain mail
a 15 pound spear point!
Enter the hero
David…we know the story
He was the kid of Jesse’s family
Had already been ordained by Samuel to be the king after Saul…but never had moved toward the position—that was in chapter 16
He’d also been in Saul’s service as a musician
…music hath charms, doeth soothe the savage breast
We know how it ends
David kills the giant—but those little things in the middle we may miss
Things we must note
David never came to with the intent to be a hero
He was on a mission of mercy—bringing supplies to his brothers
He saw a problem
His character began to show through
He was offended on behalf of glory of God, the person of God
…who is this uncircumcised Philistine that he should defy the armies of the Living God
Upon the death of Goliath, the army of Israel rallied, routed the dreaded Philistines
Takeaways
Most of our lives may be spent in relative obscurity
We may be doing the most menial of things when the opportunity for greatness arises
We should be alert for the opportunities to serve—and expect that God might use our actions for amazing, awesome things
