Key Hebrew Word: Shem (שֵׁם) — Name
"Shem" refers to "name," but also encompasses reputation and identity. Here, David approaches Goliath without fear, drawing strength from his connection to God’s name, not human weapons. It’s a reminder that real courage comes from something higher than physical tools—your values, faith, and calling.
Today, when facing challenges, consider what you bring to the encounter besides resources—your own "name," your sense of who you are.
Reflection prompt: What does your "name" or reputation mean to you? Where do you find courage beyond your own strength?
