Thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. — 1 Corinthians 15:57

 The Israelites were in need of a champion more than anyone. The taunts of the Philistine strongman Goliath kept their army at bay and humiliated them everyday as they camped in the Valley of Elah. 

Jesse's young shepherd son David had brought food for his military brothers. He was enraged to hear Goliath making fun of the Israelites, so he requested permission to confront him. David had faith that the same God who had saved him from the lion and the bear in 1 Samuel 17:34–37 would also deliver him from the giant, and He did.

David's victory serves as a reminder of Jesus Christ's triumph. We required a defender because we were helplessly imprisoned by sin. God then dispatched His Son, Jesus, to rescue us. He underwent all of our human trials when He came to Earth as a man (Heb. 2:14–15), and He engaged in combat on our behalf. Jesus defeated sin and death entirely through His death and resurrection (1 Cor. 15:54–57). Furthermore, His victory gives us hope for success in our day-to-day walk with God. 

However, we cannot count on success in our own power. We must rely on the strength and direction of the Holy Spirit. The triumph our Champion has brought us will therefore be more completely appreciated as we go in trust beside God.

By God's grace, we can overcome any giants we come up against. I shall extol the virtues of my beloved Redeemer and speak of how He triumphs over sin, death, and hell.
