David is just a little boy, and he had heard the story of David in the Bible who had killed the giant with only a stone from the brook. We read of him in 1 Samuel 17.
Our little David was just a tiny bit afraid of giants. Are you ever afraid of the dark? Well, one day when David was alone in his room, he called to his mother. When Mother came in he looked all around and said, “Mamma, are there any giants in here?”
“Oh, no dear, there aren’t any giants here.”
“Mamma,” said David, “I keep forgetting that Jesus is taking care of me.”
Mamma thought that this was often just the same with big folks, too, for when we look around at all the dangers on every hand we sometimes become fearful; but the Lord Jesus says to His own, “Peace I leave with you, My peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.” John 14:2727Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. (John 14:27).
