In this chapter of Ced Said, we ask a critical question: Is God just a part of your life—or is He the source of it all?
We take a deeper look at the story of David and Goliath—not just from David’s angle, but from the perspective of the Israelites. They had seen God show up before. They had witnessed victory after victory. But when Goliath stepped onto the battlefield, they froze. They let fear replace faith. They stopped seeing God as their source and started seeing Goliath as their limit.
David, however, remembered. He didn’t rely on armor, position, or approval—he relied on God. The same God who equipped him in isolation, in obscurity, and in waiting.
We close this chapter with a sobering truth: your job, your spouse, your talent—even yourself—can’t be your source. If any of those are removed, your joy, peace, or sense of identity shouldn’t crumble. Only when God is the source of everything can we stand firm no matter what life takes away.
