James 3:5 Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasts great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindles! And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defiles the whole body, and setts on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell.

The same situation obtained when Goliath stared down the Israelites in disdain, because Saul and the entire army reasoned along logical lines of thought, while David embraced the system of faith, and the rest is history.

1st Samuel 17:32 And David said to Saul, Let no man's heart fail because of him; thy servant will go and fight with this Philistine. 33 And Saul said to David, Thou art not able to go against this Philistine to fight with him: for thou art but a youth, and he a man of war from his youth.
May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
