    Contributed by John Lowe on Mar 19, 2022
     | 3,983 views

    Some of the most popular and enduring stories involve an underdog who overcomes tremendous obstacles and secures victory against the odds. Arguably the most famous of such stories is the unlikely triumph of David—the young Israelite shepherd—against the battle-hardened Philistine.

    David faced down Goliath that was over 9 feet tall. Why?

    No one in all of Israel wanted to contend with Goliath. His reputation went before him. He’d never lost one battle, because losing meant death. He’d won every time!

    There is a lesson at Ziklag! Tears can be a sign of doubt and fear. 12 spies crying? Israel crying because of Goliath? Tears can breed fear and a run away spirit. Nehemiah warns quit crying and celebrate God.
