Run AT your Enemies - Not FROM Them.

David ran to meet Goliath.

“As Goliath moved closer to the attack, David quickly ran out to meet him.” -1 Samuel 17: 48

Every time I read the story of David and Goliath, this verse sticks out at me.  It grabs my heart.  It challenges me.  It convicts me.  It breeds a deeper relentlessness inside of me.

David didn’t cower in the corner as he waited to face Goliath.  He didn’t take a few steps back as he realized, “Man, this guy’s a lot bigger than I thought he’d be.”  He didn’t run and hide.  He didn’t even just stand there and wait.  He ran towards him!
