Well Worn Sayings: Its David versus Goliath

We see something that looks like a mismatch and we say:  It's like David & Goliath.  Underdogs are always seen as "little David".  The Powerful as Goliath.   While Malcom Gladwell's book titled (of all things) "David and Goliath, Underdogs, Misfits and the Art of Battling Giants".   What he and that other book, The Bible, proves is that David was never an underdog!  As Mr. Gladwell points out,  the only way Goliath could have prevailed, dressed in hid heavy armor, is for David to walk up within the range of Goliath's sword and stand there.

David was agile, cunning and skillful.  He had killed Lions and Bears. The sling he used was a weapon of choice by many soldiers of that day.  This was an uneven fight.

All David needed was some great stones an-n-n-d God.

Whenever you are in a "David & Goliath situation: Be David!
