The David Guy

The story of David. Interesting...I guess. I mean, the story's got giants, war, and uh, other things. I mean, does it not sound exciting? You know it does!

The story of David is all about a guy named David who wins a fight with this really tall guy, Goliath of Gath, who was from the Philistine side (aka the enemy side). David wins it all with a small stone and some kind of cloth like thing as I recall. Yeah, I'm not kidding. You know what makes this story even better? The fact that I now know how to stop the kids from bullying me at school. All I need is a rock and a piece of cloth. I can do great damage.

Reading the story though, made me realize that anybody can do anything, no matter their size, race, ect. It's never impossible to beat someone down with just a rock. It's possible to do anything, like build a time machine. Okay, maybe not, but you get my point. You can do anything if you put your mind and strength into it.

There was this one part of the book that said, "And it came to pass, when the evil spirit from God was upon Saul, that David took an harp, and played with his hand: so Saul was refreshed, and was well, and the evil spirit departed from him." (1 Samuel 16:23) It explained in a sense that David had the power to take evil spirit from man if he plays a harp. Did God give this power to David? And why did God see it worth it that Saul have his evil spirit taken away from him? And this makes me wonder. Was Saul a part of a "plan"? Did God plan already for David to defeat Goliath and come into better power than Saul?

Towards the end, because of David's good deed, Saul put David in a higher place then he was before. David was in the services of Saul. So I think David now lives in the palace. Anways, a saying started going around which was, "Saul hath slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands" (1 Samuel 18:7) This obviously made Saul jealous and this is where the whole thing about Saul starting to want to kill David starts. Why? Because David had God on his side along with wisdom and likeness stuff radiating off of him, making people like him much better than Saul.

Some people get a little too jealous.
