courage. ________________________________________

Well, David let the Lord prepare

him. He learned to do little things
well, and as a humble shepherd,
fulfilled his responsibilities with
faith and perseverance. He had
learned to trust with his whole heart
in God. He had received the power of
the Holy Spirit and when the giant
came, David was already prepared.
