Book Synopsis
You are about to enter the mind and heart of a shepherd. But this shepherd was also a warrior. As David wrote these passages, I am sure he was focusing on his battle with the giant. (Samuel 17)
How as a young man God made him a warrior, defeating the giant that none of the soldiers of Israel would face. David went to the battle field to bring his brothers food, but God had a different idea.
David was not going to the battle field, he was going to be the battler. When did he learn his purpose? (Acts 13:36) David picked up five stone for this battle, not because he was afraid, but because he knew Goliath had four other brothers that he thought he might have to face. (2 Samuel 21:15-22)
The 49 passages you are about to meditate on have a battle mentality to them. The reason for this journal is because we sometimes face battles and challenges filled with great fears. Life’s circumstances should not dictate the quality of your life.
What creates success in these battles? Is it true that success is only achieved after striving? Did David understand the power that one person can have in a battle? We have awful narratives in side of our head when we face these battles. This journal is to change these narratives.
