Trust and Obey

1 Samuel 17:45,48-49
45 David said to the Philistine, "You come against me with sword and spear and javelin, but I come against you in the name of the LORD Almighty, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied.48 As the Philistine moved closer to attack him, David ran quickly toward the battle line to meet him. 49 Reaching into his bag and taking out a stone, he slung it and struck the Philistine on the forehead. The stone sank into his forehead, and he fell facedown on the ground.

Trust and obey for there is no other way to be happy in Jesus but to trust and obey. David's example of both trusting in God and being obedient to God's call could not be any clearer than in this passage. David was up against a giant and in what seemed as an impossible task, David obeyed God and trusted God to take care of the rest. This must be true of my life as well. Charles Price said, "Whatever God has given you to do and will give you yet to do, He is totally adequate for. This will be made real in your Valley of Elah, with a giant against whom you have no reasonable hope of victory were you to meet him on your own. But with the promise of God behind you, and the life of God within you, step out and enjoy a display of the glory and goodness of God." The question is do I really trust Him, do I really believe that God can and will do what He says He will do? Do I even trust Him that if I obey and I seemingly fail that He knows best and is in control?

Father give me the faith of David to trust you and to obey no matter what giant I may face.
