What Will Be Done for the Man?

Two armies have aligned against one another. Bitter foes with years of conflict behind them have drawn their battle lines. The champion warrior named Goliath steps into the Valley of Elah and raises his blasphemous voice mocking the army of Israel. The men trembled in their shoes, knees knocking, and hearts failing. All that they could think of is what they left behind – their wives, children, homes, and their jobs.

A young man, simply on assignment to deliver his brothers their lunch overhears the warrior’s scoff. He inquires from those standing around, “What will be done for the man?”

I think that it is one of the greatest questions that could have been asked. It set a young man apart from the crowd. It distinguished his motivation. It showed tremendous courage and revealed maturity beyond his years.

His brother assigned his question to arrogance. Others laughed with disbelief. But David persisted, “I have slain a lion, a bear, and this man will be nothing but another step in God’s faithfulness to me.”

While the thoughts of others focused on their potential loss, David’s thoughts were on what would he gain when he asked, “What will be done for the man?”

The size of your enemy determines the size of your reward.
