David and Goliath

when i was a kid

i recall watching a clay animation call David and Goliath

if my memory serves me correctly

David was a little boy, and Goliath was a dog

clay animation that  was contrary to the true story behind David and Goliath

It's ironic how the world projects David & Goliath as man's best friend on TV

Whereas in the bible, Goliath is one of God's nemesis that was annihilated by a shepherd's boy

this is why when you break down telivision to it's syllables

it's phonetically broken down to 

TE-LI-VISION

programs that continues to mislead our vision of telling more lies

where it derives from a Philistine Giant who stood nine feet tall

who would tower over people smaller than him 

based on height and not heart

the israelites ran like cowards because they were fearful of their lives

until a young man name David came along who loves and serves the Lord faithfully

went head on to battle Goliath

it wasn't his own might and strength

it was through God's faith and grace in which all David needed was a sling, and a stone

with one shot, he connected Goliath square dead center in the forehead

he stumbled

he fell face 1st to the ground

and next thing you know, his head was amputated with conviction

conveying that bullies are nothing more than cowards

 

does that remind you of your tyrant boss

who abuses one power based on title, and not knowledge

when that boss feels threaten, they retreat like Saul who continues to find ways to desecrate your humanity

and FAIL

repeatedly, emphatically, and persistenly

when one's intention is to harm maliciously with no remorse

karma comes back

 

nobody thought Bruce Lee would be the magnificant fighter

all because he was 5'4 and appear frail

until he flexes those impeccable cuts and defeats his opponents in anquish

yet he still honors them with respect 

 

people thought that God was some sort of an image that isn't real

and yet when you do bad things, that's when you cry out God's name to save you

what's so amazing is that God is not only a loving,one

but a forgiving one through gift of salvation in telling people to come forward and repent all your sins

 

it's not about the size of a dog in a fight

it's the size of the fight in a dog

 

nobody didn't visualize beating Goliath based on height

David beat Goliath based on heart through God's grace
