Faith In God

 

While observing the Good Friday occasion this day, we watched a film entitled “David and Goliath” and it tells us the story of the giant and fearless Philistine warrior. He is always at the forefront of the Philistine force then comes the character of the young lad named David who puts all his trust in God and decides later to face the challenges of the former.

David, being a shepherd, is indeed an obedient son to his father yet time comes when he could no longer endures the inhuman and barbaric treatment of Goliath to his fellow brothers and sisters that he entrusts everything to God and decides to fight the giant Goliath.

At the end, due to David’s total trust to God and on himself, he is triumphant in his fight against the ruthless Goliath. Thus, the deed of David who puts all his trust in God to face the gigantic Goliath gives us a concrete example of how faith can do to anybody. Somehow, there are plenty of trials in life that can also be likened to “Goliath”  like difficulties on relationships, financial problems, spiritual struggles, unfair treatment from others etc. but with a faith like that of David then nothing is impossible and everything will be alright.

May we  also possess in our hearts the kind of faith that David displays in his lifetime. Our faith in God can allow us to continue with our journey no matter how challenging the road may be.
