First Thoughts
At first, someone could think that the story of David and Goliath might not mean much, but to correct you on that, I am starting by saying ‘the story inspires children with shyness and less bravery than other children’. This is because it helps them gain confidence of doing new things, presentations, competitions and races.
Reasons for my thoughts
When David asked his father to let him fight, he and his brothers were in no support of it, even though they weren’t brave enough to fight Goliath themselves.
When David asked the King, he also thought David was small, however, he allowed David, but over-protected him with armour. David refused and picked some stones and a sling.
Now, any other child would have stayed at home, or would have gone with the overprotective armour but David refused. Instead, he fought with his stones and sling and he was successful.
People might not even believe that a CHILD fought a GIANT with only a SLING and some STONES. Even I can’t just imagine a child fight a giant.
Conclusion
In all, I think that David should be the bravest child in the Bible, although other people also did big things in the Bible. It is quite outstanding and peculiar to see a child fight a giant.
David’s bravery is incredible and people would have laughed at him, they probably already laughed and stared at him, but he didn’t care. He had defeated the Philistines’ biggest warrior. And all this happened because David believed in HIM.
