'Lase | Storyteller

Picture this: A young guy named David arrives at a battlefield just to drop off lunch for his brothers. What he finds? An entire army frozen in fear.

For 40 days straight, a massive warrior had been taunting them. Trained soldiers, men who’d seen real combat were paralyzed. Nobody moved. Nobody spoke up.

Then there’s David. His resume? Sheep management. Zero military experience.

His response? “I’ve got this.”

He picked up five smooth stones from a stream. One throw later, the giant fell. The entire opposing army scattered.

Here’s what makes this story incredible:

David didn’t succeed because he had the best training, the right connections, or years of experience. He succeeded because he understood something everyone else had forgotten, he wasn’t facing this challenge alone.

The Perspective That Changes Everything

When you’re staring down something that feels impossible, the size of the obstacle isn’t what matters most. What matters is recognizing the strength available to you that goes beyond your own.

David saw what others couldn’t: the same power that helped him protect his flock was still there on that battlefield.

Your Turn

Whatever feels insurmountable in your life right now, that deadline, that diagnosis, that relationship, that dream that seems too big, remember David’s secret. It wasn’t about him being extraordinary. It was about knowing he had access to something extraordinary.

The best chapters are often the ones still being written.
