Slaying
giants—
the stuff
of dreams
made real
when God gets involved.
Stories of
old coming to life
when told
to a new generation.
God’s word
is not safe,
it is
dangerous.
It’s not
benign,
it is
powerful.
It
encourages action and dissent
and sounds
an alarm for us
to take up
its challenge
and fight
the monsters of today.
For God
does not dwell in the past,
and
stories do not remain on the page.
The Good
News is a living word
that
speaks in every age,
that calls
on God’s people
to rise to
new challenges,
to seek
new ways,
to love
and to serve
all God’s
people.
A reflection on the story of David and Goliath written for Spill the Beans.
Like this one even better the 2nd time around.
