DAVID'S SUCCESSES
Your servant has killed both the lion and the bear; this uncircumcised Philistine will be like one of them, because he has defied the armies of the living God. 1 Samuel 17:36
Compare a lion and a bear with Goliath. As strong, big, and powerful as Goliath was, it's hard to believe that even he was a match for a lion or a bear. So David knew that if God give him success, as a shepherd, to kill a lion and a bear, God could give him success in killing Goliath.
Again, David was a shepherd, like Moses was. But what was in David's hand was a slingshot. A weapon he'd used before. A weapon he was "used to." Remember? King Saul tried to give David his armor, but David refused Saul's armor because David wasn't "used to them." David did what he was used to, using the weapons of his past successes from God.
Where have you been successful in the past? What do you KNOW you are good at because you've succeeded in the past in doing it? What are you "used to" in finding success or victory?
This is the staff in your hand, like Moses' staff.
This is the strength that you have, like Gideon's strength.
This is your slingshot, what you are used to, like David's sling.
If you do what you KNOW has brought you success in the past, but do it now, in the present, for the glory of God, He will take your natural success and make it His supernatural success in your situation.
Learn from Moses.
Learn from Gideon.
Learn from David.
