1 Samuel

The part that really ministered to me in this book is the battle of David and Goliath. As David is about to go and fight Goliath, Saul his armor to David to go and fight the battle. David knows that he cannot wear someone else’s armor to fight his battle. We must know that we cannot put on someone else’s armor to fight out battles. We must put on our own armor daily to fight the battles from the enemy that come at us daily.

Ephesians 6:10-17
