One thing about the David and Goliath battle that leaves me in awe is realizing that the direction Goliath fell was forward. Forward, from a small smooth stone that sunk into his forehead. First off, David (or any human for that matter) didn't have enough physical force to fling a rock that deep in the giant's forehead...and secondly, a force like that would have knocked Goliath backward according to conventional wisdom. Which shows us that God defies convention and as you said, when He said he would take care of His people, He does so -- and does so in a way in which we know it's Him. Great post.
