The path of life is found by faith, which is often uncomfortable (Psalm 16:11). Hebrews 11:1 reads that faith is things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. Faith is trusting in God, obeying and following Him, even when we cannot see clearly. That kind of confidence produces great fruit – amazing joy and pleasure – in our lives, but it is often very difficult and stretching. The abundant life we all desire is experienced along the way as we take God’s hand in obedience and allow Him to lead and guide us one step at a time. This was certainly the case with David, who’s stirring to resist the taunts and mockery of a giant was anything but comfortable. But his obedience and trust in God, despite the odds, led to an unforeseen victory over Goliath.
