Pastor Lee McClelland - Is There Not a Cause?

1 Samuel 17:28-30

28 Now Eliab his oldest brother heard when he spoke to the men; and Eliab’s anger was aroused against David, and he said, “Why did you come down here? And with whom have you left those few sheep in the wilderness? I know your pride and the insolence of your heart, for you have come down to see the battle.”

29 And David said, “What have I done now? Is there not a cause?”

30 Then he turned from him toward another and said the same thing; and these people answered him as the first ones did.

What made the difference in this story that granted David victory was that everyone else reacted to the threat while David acted. David knew the only way to victory against the giant was a display of God's power.
