7. David remained humble after the battle was over.
When David reentered town, he had women dancing and singing for him, giving him even more honor than even the king! And yet, when King Saul gives David his daughter to marry as he said he would, David responds humbly in 1 Samuel 18:18, “Who am I….that I should be son in law to the king?”
APPLICATION: When you overcome your giant, remember who defeated it. To become prideful after a victory is one of Satan’s most effective traps. Don’t forget what it’s like to be on the other side of the giant. Reach out to those still fighting.
Remember that you are nothing . . . you are absolutely useless without Jesus.
Then go live your life in humble adoration of what He has used you to do, and encourage others that God wants to do the same thing through them.
