1Sa 17:37 | MHM | STEP | v. 37 : David gave God the credit for his victories, saying, The Lord , who delivered me from the paw of the lion and from the paw of the bear, will deliver me from the hand of this Philistine . He trusted that God, who had saved him before, would save him again. David’s confidence came from his faith and past experiences. Like Paul later said, I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion… and the Lord shall deliver me (2 Timothy 4:17–18 ). Saul agreed and said, Go, and the Lord be with you . Saul hoped for David’s success, since he himself was not willing to face Goliath.

‏ 1 Samuel 17:37

v. 37: David gave God the credit for his victories, saying, The Lord, who delivered me from the paw of the lion and from the paw of the bear, will deliver me from the hand of this Philistine . He trusted that God, who had saved him before, would save him again. David’s confidence came from his faith and past experiences. Like Paul later said, I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion… and the Lord shall deliver me (2 Timothy 4:17–18 ^a). Saul agreed and said, Go, and the Lord be with you. Saul hoped for David’s success, since he himself was not willing to face Goliath.
