<div class="SSN_title">"THE GIANT KILLER"</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_intro">Intro: Much said about David's conquest of giant. David's word battle with brothers and king more trying ordeal than fighting giant. More trouble with depressing influence of friends. Eliab chided, David answered with few choice words and turned away. David restrained himself from provocation thus greater than men who tax a city. Saul "thou art a youth" - David "let no man's heart fail because of him."</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_rnum">I. RECOLLECTIONS vs.36, 37, SOME HAVE SHORT MEMORIES - WRITE VICTORIES IN DUST AND FAILURES IN MARBLE.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">A. No matter what present trial may be, have been tried before.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">1. Lion rushed on flock - ordeal did not destroy him.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">2. He had encountered danger in course of duty.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">a. Path of duty not without peril.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">B. He had been tried frequently. Not lion only but bear.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">1. Trials of different sorts.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">2. Our brushes with enemy.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">3. Jesus our captain delivered us, He is still with us.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">C. He had risked his life to prosecute his duty.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">1. When lion entered fold and took hold of lamb.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">2. Remember when you took no thought of what you would lose to follow Christ?</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">D. He had gone alone into the contest.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">1. The enemy was a lion - a dozen men might be too few.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">2. Stepped out alone - those who could have helped predicted disaster.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">E. David had nothing visible to rely upon, simply trust in God.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">1. "If God be for us who can be against us?"</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">2. Casting ourselves upon invisible power of God.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">3. Is it possible that we now must rely on means and methods and plans instead of God?</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">F. David recalled that tactics were natural, vigorous.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">1. Just used what he had at hand.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">2. Did not consult committee of lion killers.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">3. Did not encumber himself with rules.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">G. Through confidence in God he had victory.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">1. He talked of these deeds reluctantly.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">2. Sole motive now to glorify God.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">3. Lay stress on God's enabling's not our doings.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">4. Never rehearse as reason for resting on laurels.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_rnum">II. THE REASONINGS - IF I ACT AGAINST THIS GIANT THROUGH FAITH IN GOD AS I DID THE LION, GOD IS THE SAME, THE RESULTS WILL BE THE SAME.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">A. David saw the situations as parallel.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">1. The flock was defenseless against lion.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">2. God's flock defenseless, too.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">3. Philistine represented brute force - lion.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">B. Our fault we fail to draw parallel.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">1. We think of this as new case.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">a. We magnify differences "I killed a lion."</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">b. "I was younger then."</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">c. "I didn't know any better than just to trust."</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">2. We think of early deeds as something to be wondered at rather than repeated now.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">3. "I slew a lion and a bear let someone else have their turn now."</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">C. We frame excuses out of opinions of others.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">1. Elieb is right, I am more fitted for music.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">2. Plenty of cowardly counsel to be found.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_rnum">III. THE RESULTS.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">A. David felt he should rely on God alone.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">1. Lay Saul's armor aside, "The Lord saveth not with sword or spear."</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">2. Bound by rules, regulations, red tape, committees.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">a. Church so weighted down with armor not killing any giants any more.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">B. Risk everything upon God.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">C. Ultimate result he came back with the head of the giant. Faith is the True Victory.</div>
