5 Minutes of Hope

David faced his giant.

He ran toward, not from the foe.

He had learned the secret of warfare.

He knew what we need to know.

********************

Using someone else’s armor

is not the way to go.

It’ll never be a perfect fit;

gotta go with what you know.

********************

David knew his Shepherd.

David knew his sling.

David knew how to fight a fight.

David knew how to sing.

********************

Goliath taunted David,

as giants often do.

“You’re small. I’m tall. You’re going down.

I’m gonna have my way with you.”

********************

David kept on advancing;

singing the battle song:

“The Name of the Lord is a strong tower;

with Him I can’t go wrong!”

********************

He reached in his pouch and chose the Rock:

“This giant’s coming down!”

He slung his sling, that little thing,

and nailed him on the crown.

********************

Our giants CAN be defeated,

EVERY single one.

Name them by name, then proclaim in the Name:

“The work of the cross is done.”
