When does God get the glory?,when we are at our weakest,when David faced a giant, ( 1 Samuel 17) that Giant looked at that young man and mocked him, despised him.Looking on the enemies of Israel must have thought,we are on a winner,victory is assured. I wonder what Israel was thinking,Davids brother didn't think much of him and told him so v28.Saul told him that he would not be able to defeat the giant v33, but David testified how God had helped him kill a bear and lion would help him kill that giant.So he went forth with a sling and five smooth stones,and the giant mocked him.But David stood his ground and answered his mocking with the following words,'You come against me with sword and spear and Javelin, but I come against you in the name of the Lord Almighty.......This day He will deliver you into my hands',and He did just that,and God got the glory.v 45-46. When does God get the glory?, through our weakness and limitations,think of what Paul accomplished ,how?,in his own strength,no,in weakness,and in that weakness he glorified the God who impowered him in all His service (2 Cor 12 v 9)
' Our Saviour was crucified in weakness
and He of all people exalted and glorified
God'. ( John 17 v 4)
