The Angel In The Sky. Part [5] 06/22/2025 (Morning thought)

1st Samuel 17:5 And he had an helmet of brass upon his head, and he was armed with a coat of mail; and the weight of the coat was five thousand shekels of brass. 6 And he had greaves of brass upon his legs, and a target of brass between his shoulders.

You will notice that Goliath is using a lot of brass in his armor, so tomorrow if you happen to pass by the Home Depot, or Lowe’s, just stop and ask someone what are the benefits of using brass. But if you are not planning to go to the hardware store anytime soon, here’s the reason why. Mechanics, jewelers, and engineers often rely on brass hammers to avoid damaging sensitive components.

Their versatility and safety features make them a valuable addition to any toolkit, ensuring efficient and careful work across different applications. Thus, brass will offer much better protection from any incoming missile or spear, for it would absorb a lot of the impact shock of steel or any other hard material. 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.

1st Samuel 17:33 And Saul said to David, you are 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. 34 And David said unto Saul, thy servant kept his father's sheep, and there came a lion, and a bear, and took a lamb out of the flock. 35 And I went out after him, and smote him, and delivered it out of his mouth: and when he arose against me, I caught him by his beard, and smote him, and slew him.

1st Samuel 17:37 David said moreover, The Lord that delivered me out of the paw of the lion, and out of the paw of the bear, he will deliver me out of the hand of this Philistine. And Saul said unto David, Go, and the Lord be with thee.

May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!

The Angel In The Sky. Part [4] 06/22/2025 (Evening thought)

1st Samuel 17:47 And all this assembly shall know that the Lord saves not with sword and spear: for the battle is the Lord's, and he will give you into our hands. 48 And it came to pass, when the Philistine arose, and came, and drew nigh to meet David, that David hastened, and ran toward the army to meet the Philistine.

Here it is again, as David faces Goliath, he knows he dare not tackle him, so as he had always done in the  past, he turns to God for help, and like clockwork,  his faith is rewarded. It would have been totally impossible for David to take down the giant, for according to the narrative, Goliath was not only armed to the tooth, but he was also protected by state of the art armor.

He wore a helmet of brass to protect his forehead, and thus, a simple stone, all by itself, could never have penetrated to his skull with such force so as to kill him. Basically, not happening without God. Whenever God uses a person to accomplish a great work, that individual should be very careful not to attribute success to their own might and power, as if the victory were theirs. This is a form of stealing and must be avoided at all costs.

1st Samuel 17:4 And there went out a champion out of the camp of the Philistines, named Goliath, of Gath, whose height was six cubits and a span. 5 And he had a helmet of brass upon his head, and he was armed with a coat of mail; and the weight of the coat was five thousand shekels of brass. 6 And he had greaves of brass upon his legs, and a target of brass between his shoulders.

1st Samuel 17:49 And David put his hand in his bag, and took thence a stone, and slang it, and smote the Philistine in his forehead, that the stone sunk into his forehead; and he fell upon his face to the earth.

May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
