14: Keep your TROPHY
Everyone has moments of doubt, of discouragement, of frustration, even the most successful and seemingly strong. One thing we can do to encourage ourselves is to remind us of our past victories. For this reason we need to keep our trophy. Every time you look at the sword of the giant, you'll remember the victory. How do we practically do this? A very simple way is to write our story down. Or put it on a paper and put it on your wall, or on your desk.
How did David do it? He kept the sword of the giant and brought the head to Jerusalem. So he would always be remembered about this victory. He put the weapons very close to him as a remembrance!
1.Samuel 17:54 David took the Philistine’s head and brought it to Jerusalem; he put the Philistine’s

Sam 17. They should have remembered Num 13:??-33, where they also were afraid of the giants.
What can we learn from pastors and preachers of the past? What were their greatest victories? What were things they did well? What were things that didn’t go well?
17: You might face MORE giants
David and his men had to fight more giants in the future, which they all killed. They wouldn't have killed them, if David hadn't have killed the first one. These incidents with the other giants are written down in 2 Samuel 21-22.In life, if one person is able to do one thing, like breaking a world record, it sets a new bar. Some marks have been thought to be unbeatable, but when the first mark is taking down, other people find the courage and the hope to beat it again. This is the same with taking down giants. Maybe you are the first, to deal with it, and having a Godly solution.
I like the phrase in 2Sa 21:16 the giant thought that he could kill David. Always remember you are bigger than the giant. In 2Sa 21:22, we read about 4 more giants, which many Bible scholars think could be Goliath's brothers, possibly the reason David had 5 stones with him, when he fought

    In 1 Samuel 17, David shows how he has trust in God and he knows that he will win. In the beginning of 1 Samuel 17, no one will fight Goliath, so David steps up and says that he will. His brother told him that he was stupid thinking that he could go and kill Goliath. David told him that by the grace of God he will be able to defeat Goliath. His brother knew that he was right and got him ready to fight Goliath. Once he was ready, he approached the Philistine. Goliath told him that he was small, and that he would kill David easily. David replied, “You come at me with sword and spear and battle-ax. I come at you in the name of God-of-the-Angel-Armies, the God of Israel’s troops, whom you curse and mock.” (1 Samuel 17:45)…

    David is called from his flock of sheep to meet prophet Samuel; he is appointed as the new king of Israel by Samuel. David hears about the incentive for killing the giant Goliath, the champion of their enemy Philistines. David offers to fight Goliath, argue against Saul’s (the original king of Israel) worry that he is just a boy. David says that he has killed the lions and bears that have endangered his sheep. Saul provides David with armor for his approaching battle, but David chooses not to wear it. David and Goliath meet each other and the young conqueror slays the giant (presented in three register scenes). Finally, David married Saul’s daughter Michal, as part of his reward for defeating…

    2 Samuel 1-10 Analysis

    1 Samuel 31, 2 Samuel 1-10 – First Samuel ends with Saul’s death. Rather than facing the torment of the Philistines, he falls on his own sword, but the first chapter of 2 Samuel gives a different account. An Amalekite reports to David that he killed Saul after Saul asked him to run him through with the sword. Either way, Saul is now dead, and David is made king of Judah, while Ishbaal (Saul’s son) supposedly reigns over the rest of Israel. Abner supports Ishbaal at first, but after having been accused of sleeping with one of Saul’s concubines, Abner turns to support David. Before he can do anything to help David’s conquest, Abner is killed by Joab (commander of David’s forces) for killing Joab’s brother Asahel. Ishbaal is also assassinated by Rechab and Baanah, who are apparently motivated by the thought of reward from David for their service, but they are killed by David as a result. With no other leader to turn to, the rest of Israel accepts David as their king at Hebron. After that, David enjoys much military success against the enemies of Israel (Philistines, Moabites, Edomites,…

    Saul was threatened so much that Saul had plotted to kill David. David learned of this and fled to escape the king's wrath. In hiding David further cemented his popularity among the Israelites by "Beginning as an outlaw, with a price on his head, David led the life of a Robin Hood on the desert frontier of his country (Judah). He became the leader and organizer of other outlaws and refugees; and, according to the Bible, ". . . everyone who was in distress, and everyone who was in debt, and everyone who was discontented, gathered to him; and he became captain over them." This group progressively ingratiated itself with the local population by protecting them from other bandits or, in case they had been raided, by pursuing the raiders and restoring the possessions that had been taken" (Britannica). David gained his popularity from this and eventually lead him to being selected as…

    But Odysseus just decided to take easy way out, because he couldn’t face the real challenge. Odysseus also is cowardly because he blames the gods for his own mistakes. He yelled to the gods, saying “O father Zeus and gods in bliss forever, you made me sleep away this day of mischief!” (686). Odysseus knew that if his men ate Helios, the sun god’s, cattle then all of his men would die.…

    The brave man is not one who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.” For both Beowulf and Gilgamesh in the stories “Beowulf” and “The Epic of Gilgamesh,” these leaders fought to be brave for their people. Gilgamesh and Beowulf both had different approaches to their fighting styles, they were well known leaders, their journies differed from one another and the society they lived in had differing beliefs. Although Beowulf and Gilgamesh differ in who they are and what they want to accomplish, they both have similarities in their leadership styles and…
