happy fall, y'all

more than conquerors

Goliath stood high overlooking the valley between him and Israel.
David walked high on his roof watching a bathing beauty.

Goliath saw no challenger and requested a champion.
David's champions were at war so he requested a soldier's wife.

Goliath thirsted.
David lusted.
Who would defy them?
Who could defy them?


Young David stood in the name of Yahweh.
King David only wanted the name of the girl.

David the shepherd needed only one stone.
David the king needed only one night.

King David forgot self-control.
Uriah spent three nights mere paces from his wife.

David killed.
Twice.

Saul anointed a warrior boy.
Nathan rebuked a childish king.

How do growling underdogs become bored champs?
Can we avoid becoming what we fight?


Vanquished in the valley of Achor,
My door of hope falls open.
I want to slay Goliaths,
But keep meeting King Davids instead.
