Day 21 - Valley of Elah
A shepherd boy David, with no appearance of strength or stature, went to fight a giant named Goliath when the rest of Israel, including King Saul, were too afraid. This battle happened in a place called the Valley of Elah. Through the power of God, David defeated Goliath.
God used this young man David, who had a heart after Him, to lead the nation of Israel. Though David made mistakes, it was his continual repentance that made him a man after God’s own heart. And because of this, it was prophesied that God would send a savior through the lineage of David.
David’s heart of repentance is what made him a man after God’s own heart; where are areas of your life that you need to repent?
Reflect on the life of David; in what ways is Jesus a better king than David?
About this Plan
As we enter the Christmas season, we are all eager to celebrate the birth of Jesus, the point in history where God descended into humanity to bring life to a broken world. Each day leading up to Christmas, we will provide an overview of the biblical significance of a location in Israel, along with a devotional prompt that will connect that location with the life of Jesus in Scripture.
