Then as he talked with
them, there was the
champion, the Philistine
of Gath, Goliath by
name, coming up from
the armies of the
Philistines; and he
spoke according to the
same words. So David
heard them.
1 Samuel 17:23
New King James Version
(NKJV)

Therefore David ran
and stood over the
Philistine, took his
sword and drew it out of
its sheath and killed
him, and cut off his
head with it. And when
the Philistines saw that
their champion was
dead, they fled.
1 Samuel 17:23
New King James Version
(NKJV)

And have you completely forgotten
this word of encouragement that
addresses you as a father
addresses his son? It says, “My
son, do not make light of the Lord’s
discipline, and do not lose heart
when he rebukes you,Hebrews 12:5
New International Version (NIV)

6 because the Lord disciplines
the one he loves, and he
chastens everyone he accepts
as his son.”
Hebrews 12:6

7 Endure hardship as discipline;
God is treating you as his children.
For what children are not
disciplined by their father?
Hebrews 12:7

8 If you are not disciplined—and
everyone undergoes discipline—
then you are not legitimate, not true
sons and daughters at all.
Hebrews 12:8

9 Moreover, we have all had human
fathers who disciplined us and we
respected them for it. How much
more should we submit to the
Father of spirits and live!

while as they thought best; but God
disciplines us for our good, in order
that we may share in his holiness.

the time, but painful. Later on,
however, it produces a harvest of
righteousness and peace for those
who have been trained by it.
Hebrews 12:11

To immerse ourselves in the
Word of God wherein God
speaks to us, and in prayer,
whereby we speak to Him

Involves the Word of God and

the Spirit”

effort at spiritual
discipline with the
only source of
power, the Word
of God.

The cords of death entangled
me; the torrents of destruction
overwhelmed me. The cords of
the grave coiled around me; the
snares of death confronted me.
Psalms 4:4-5
What is your
situation?

Psalms 4:4-5
What is your
situation?
The wonderful thing about
prayer is that God meets
us where we are.

LORD; I cried to my God for
help. From his temple he heard
my voice; my cry came before
him, into his ears.

us to keep it constantly
in the forefront of our

according to its
precepts.

Keep this Book of the Law
always on your lips; meditate
on it day and night, so that you
may be careful to do everything
written in it. Then you will be
prosperous and successful.

For physical training is of some
value, but godliness has value
for all things, holding promise
for both the present life and the
life to come.

Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always obeyed—
not only in my presence, but now much more in my
absence—continue to
work out your salvation with fear and
trembling
