Ask your self, "Am I living life on offense or defense?" "Am I trying to hoard and just hold on to what I have got, or am I attacking life and living on offense?"
The famous Biblical story of David vs Goliath shows us how to "Live Life On Offense" and attack, to run forward and take down our challenges and giants head on! So listed below are what I call "The Principles Of David" and how he used them to destroy his opposition in The Name of God Almighty!
David vs Goliath = 1 Samuel 17 (CEV)
David lived on the offense, he took initiative, he was proactive, he was a warrior with a cause worth fighting for
* He took pride in Representing His God (vs 26)
* He put it upon himself to "Make The Tackle" (vs 32)
i.e. take initiative, be proactive
* He ignored the nay-sayers (vs 33)
* He remembers how God has worked powerfully in his past
and trusts Him to do so in the future (verses 35-37)
* He uses what he knows and what has worked for him,
he knows best how his "game" works (verses 38-39)
* He is all FAITH and no fear....ATTACK YOUR FEARS HEAD ON!!! (verses 40, 48)
* He is not intimidated by "Trash-Talking" (verses 41- 44)
* He knows who he plays for and How BIG his God is! (verses 45-47)
ATTACKING Phrases
* "straight toward" (vs 40)
* "ran toward him" (vs 48)
All-in-all, David exhibits Courage, Confidence, Faith, and Trust
A quote by Erwin McManus puts the life of David in perspective, "Living outside The Will Of God puts you in danger, living inside The Will Of God makes you DANGEROUS!"
Live "The Principles Of David" today and go be DANGEROUS for God!
