Isn't it amazing how two people can be in the same arena but their expectations are vastly different. We have multiple lessons that can be learned from this. When King Saul saw Goliath, his mind became clouded with fear, not with solutions. David on the other had prepared, through prayer, in which God gave him focus. This helped him prepare for battle by selecting the perfect stones for his sling. When David approached Goliath, he saw a target that couldn't be missed. When Goliath approached David, he saw how small he was and totally underestimated his potential. He wasn't fully prepared, or focused, for the encounter and it ended up costing him his life. So remember that you should never let the size of the challenge affect your thinking. You should always be fully prepared, no matter what level of difficulty you assume it might be.
