Could Have David Conquered Goliath if He Engaged with His Brother Who Was Accusing Him?
David and Eliab Conflict
Could David miss the mark or his purpose when his brother, Eliab, accused him of leaving those few sheep in the wilderness and said he knew the pride and the insolence in his heart? Have you ever been accused? What people think about you is very important.
When David was misunderstood and publicly rebuked by his brother, probably amid the laughs of the other soldiers, he could have quit. Instead, David remained concerned with God’s cause before everything and with his own feelings.
What if he did fight back because Eliab’s words hurt him? David could have stepped into the flesh and out of step with the Spirit of the LORD, and then David’s strength would be gone. Could he have defeated Goliath?
What is robbing you of your peace and purpose in your life? Are you too concerned about what people think over what God says about you? What negative image do you have about yourself that you have to defend your reputation?
