Lectionary for 8/2/09

Today's readings are 1 Samuel 17.20-47 and Acts 26.24-27.8.

Today we see both David and Paul being fearless.  Why are they fearless?  Not because of their own strength.  They are fearless because of the mighty arm of the Lord.  Whether the dangers are giants with swords, political leaders with the power of execution, or journeys at sea, we know our Lord can protect his people. 

See how David and Paul both give bold-faced testimony to God's person and attributes.  We who serve the same Lord can give the same kind of testimony.  We know that the Lord is our reward, our inheritance, our protection.  There is nothing to fear.
