A little Bible with Ballers moment!!
As I’ve watched this video over and over God keeps putting David on my heart.
For a little context, what you see in this video is a great play by an amazing young lady!!
What you don’t see is this girl watching games before we play and seeing what the competition does. She recognized they get a runner on, they try to bunt immediately. Knowing this she is prepared!
She doesn’t hesitate, immediately running to make the play.
Now here is where David comes to mind.
1 Samual 17.
You see the battle of David and Goliath.
Everyone feared Goliath. He is taller than the rest, stronger and no one will face him. No one but a little Shepherd boy.
David isn’t afraid of Goliath he knows God is on his side.
“And Saul said to David, “You are not able to go against this Philistine to fight with him, for you are but a youth, and he has been a man of war from his youth.” But David said to Saul, “Your servant used to keep sheep for his father. And when there came a lion, or a bear, and took a lamb from the flock, I went after him and struck him and delivered it out of his mouth. And if he arose against me, I caught him by his beard and struck him and killed him. Your servant has struck down both lions and bears, and this uncircumcised Philistine shall be like one of them, for he has defied the armies of the living God.””
1 Samuel 17:33-36
David was prepared. He knew God would deliver him because he had already faught Bear and Lions and with Gods help defeated both.
The next thing we see in verse 48 is David RAN at Goliath. No fear, no anxiety, No hesitation. He RAN at the giant.
“When the Philistine arose and came and drew near to meet David, David ran quickly toward the battle line to meet the Philistine.”
1 Samuel 17:48
To end this long post, we can run at our fears. Run at our anxieties, run at our worries because God is on our side.
This team we played wasn’t bigger, like Goliath but the am I good enough, am I liked, am I important can creep in. Especially in young athletes life.
Let’s be like David and RUN at everything we do and leave the rest up to God!!
