David has come to fight against Goliath

He has prepared

He has weapons with him

But now Goliath looks at David

David is seen by Goliath

And the Bible says that he “disdained” David(tuchchha Thaanyo)

He looked down on David

And the Bible gives us 3 reasons

Because he was a youth(ThiTa maatra thie)

Ruddy(raataapiraa) - healthy

A fair countenance(sundara cheharaa bhaeko)

1

These are not bad things

They are actually good things

The Bible says that we will face this as well

In the last days...

Perilous times(sangkatpurna samayaharu) are coming

2 Timothy 3:3 KJV 1900

Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,

People see righteousness

And call it sin

People see humility

And call it pride

People see help

And call it hurt

They will see truth

And call it lies

They will see light and call it darkness

Goliath saw good

And call it at

But it was called evil!

The enemies of Christ

Hate righteousness

They hate light

They hate good because it exposes their (kholnu)

Darkness

Sin

Evil

In the dark, they look okay

Among evil men, they are okay

But the light shows the truth!

They disdain(tuchchha Thaanyo) good

Youth shows opportunity

While we have remaining breath(saas)

We have opportunities to serve the Lord

We have opportunities to honor and worship the Lord

Satan’s plan for all men is death

Goliath was not young

His death was near

Seeing David’s youth made him angry

Don’t forget that your life is an opportunity

Tomorrow is an opportunity

To fight the devil

To do right

To honor the Lord!

Ruddy(raataapiraa)

David’s cheeks(gaalaa) were red

He was healthy

Men of war(yudDha) did not often have good health

They had injuries(choT-haru)

They had wounds

They often did not eat well

Goliath did not like to see a healthy(nirogi, svastha) warrior(yodDhaa)

Satan doesn’t like to see a healthy Christian

When a believer is full of faith(biswaasle barieko biswaasi)

When a believer is full of the wisdom of Gods Word

When a believer is praising the Lord

When a believer is full of humility

Satan despises that

He despises(tuccha sambhkanu) our red cheeks!

"Nothing sets a person so much out of the devil's reach as humility."

Fair Countenance

Fighting men, warriors were not beautiful men

They had wounds

They had scars(khata-haru)

Sin leaves scars

Serving Satan will give us scars

We can always come to Christ

We can always follow the Lord

God will give forgiveness

But the sin we leave behind leaves scars

I want to be a beautiful Christian

I want my spirit to be beautiful

Spirit of faith, obedience, humility, love, grace

A beautiful testimony for Christ

Satan hates a beautiful Christian

Like Goliath hated David.

____________________________

Satan and the world hate the things of God

But let’s continue in these good things!

Thank the Lord for the opportunities he gives us!

Be a healthy Christian!

Be a beautiful Christian!
