Epic, pt. 8 - David & Goliath

We referenced the story of David and Goliath in our "Go" series, but here we're going to focus even more on the weapons we choose. David fought as he was gifted. God equips us as he needs us. Imagine a cello playing picking up his instrument and trying to produce music by blowing on end end. Or a flutist, who bangs her instruments against the floor to create rhythm. Would a drum play pick up his instrument and try to play it with a bow? They could try, but the result would be unrecognizable. However, when each member of an orchestra plays their instrument as designed, in proper melody, rhythm, and expression, we have music. Play your part!

From Series: "Epic - July"

Throughout this series, we have learned that God is inviting us to join Him on an epic adventure. In June, our focus was perspective: how we see our circumstances, others, ourselves, and our past. This month, we're going to look at how God's epic adventure invites active participation. We are called to move in step with God. Think of it this way: A conductor sets rhythm. The orchestra follows the conductor's lead, each playing their selected part. And the result is something beautiful. THAT is what God is calling us to be part of.
