David Shed Saul’s (worldly) Armor…

As our family (in Christ), in the days, weeks, and months ahead, we must understand “Armor of God.”

1 Samuel 17:34-36 “But David said to Saul, “Your servant was tending his father’s sheep. When a lion or a bear came and took a sheep from the flock, 35 I went out after it and attacked it, and rescued the sheep from its mouth; and when it rose up against me, I grabbed it by its mane (beard) and struck it and killed it. 36 Your servant has killed both the lion and the bear; and this uncircumcised Philistine will be like one of them, since he has defied the armies of the living God.”

1 Samuel 17:38-40 “Then Saul clothed David with his military attire and put a bronze helmet on his head and outfitted him with armor. 39 And David strapped on his sword over his military attire and struggled at walking, for he had not trained with the armor. So, David said to Saul, “I cannot go with these, because I have not trained with them.” And David took them off. 40 Then he took his staff in his hand and chose for himself five smooth stones from the brook and put them in the shepherd’s bag which he had, that is, in his shepherd’s pouch, and his sling was in his hand; and he approached the Philistine.”
