And I can never read about David’s eyeball-to-eyeball encounter with the lion without remembering that terrifying moment in the valley near Hell’s Canyon.

David said to Saul, “Your servant has been keeping his father’s sheep. When a lion or a bear came and carried off a sheep from the flock, I went after it, struck it and rescued the sheep from its mouth. When it turned on me, I seized it by its hair, struck it and killed it.” (1 Samuel 17:34-35, NIV)

That was bare-handed combat. David didn’t even use his sling. I’ve often wondered if his sling was a .300 Ebenezer Magnum reserved just for giants. Maybe, maybe not. But I have no doubts at all about David’s heart. He was a warrior, pure and simple. He shouldered his responsibility as a man and stood ready to protect whatever was in his charge. His father’s flock depended on him. And you and I must follow in the footsteps of David, and the Greater Son of David, Jesus Christ.

Think of your biblical heroes. Most often one of the things they had in common was a warrior’s heart. Check it out.

• With 318 men of his own household, Abraham pursued four kings and four armies, divided his forces, struck his enemies by night, thoroughly routed them, and rescued their hostages.

• Joshua led his green troops against walled cities, populated by giants.

• Caleb, eighty-five years young, didn’t want to sit around in a deck chair drinking Ensure. He pleaded for the opportunity to drive God’s enemies out of a chunk of rough hill country. And then went out and did it.

• Nehemiah sent his men out to rebuild Jerusalem’s shattered wall with trowels in one hand and swords in the other.

• Stephen stood toe to toe and all alone against the whole ruling body of Israel, condemned them from their own cherished history, and pointed to the Christ they’d killed, now sitting in glory at His Father’s right hand.
