In I Samuel 17:14-58 we read about David and Goliath and how David looked to God and his past victories for his ability to succeed in his present challenge. He knew God delivered him from the lion and the bear and therefore could and would deliver him against Goliath. Something to note that is most commendable is that David had plenty of nay sayers around him, yet he chose to look to God and not his circumstances.
The other thing David did because of his personal walk with Jesus was he stepped out in faith to do the very act even though it didn't make sense. Five smooth stones against a giant???? However, David trusted God and used what he had. He remembered that God had delivered him in the past and would do so again because he had a personal relationship with Him. His job was to step out in faith and do what he knew to do. He didn't have to change who he was before he could act or become something he wasn't for God to use him.
Are we facing a Goliath in our life today? Are we prayed up and ready to go? Are we listening to the nay sayers or are we trusting in God's sovereignty? I'm confident that whatever we're facing that God has a plan. I pray we do our part and step out in faith and allow God to use us for His glory.
