Me + God can do anything. Me - God can do nothing.

We see this principle clearly illustrated in the life of young David, the future king of Israel.

1. When David was anointed  as the future king of Israel, Samuel records, "The Spirit of God came upon David." The same Holy Spirit that enabled David to defeat Goliath lives within believers today.
2. David fought Goliath because Goliath was mocking God not out of arrogance but . There are many causes a believer can adopt, but we should always confront someone who is mocking God.
3. God said that David had a heart that sought God. When confronted with his sin, David always confessed and repented.
4. David was a unique man, shaped by God for his calling.  God also shapes us, and the Holy Spirit enables us to win the spiritual battles against Satan in our lives.
5. David was a youth when he was anointed as king. If we are willing, God can and does use us whether we are young or old, man or woman or any race. The Holy Spirit enables us to successfully accomplish God's plan for our lives.
