The practical lesson here is that God gives victory in response to our faith. God had tested David privately with a lion and a bear; now he was to test him openly with a giant. If we are faithful in the private battles, God will see us through the public testings. Too often God’s people faint at the smallest test that comes their way, little realizing that the “little tests” are but preparation for the bigger battles that are sure to come (Jer. 12:5).

Nothing restrains the Lord. We often believe that God is restrained one way or another. The truth is that our unbelief restrains God. Matthew 13:58 says, “Jesus did not do many mighty works there because of their unbelief.” God’s power is never restrained, but God’s will may be restrained because of our unbelief. He may choose not to act until we partner with Him in trust. God had a trusting partner in Jonathan!
