David wasn't the right man for the job. That's if you judge him based on what everyone else saw: A young, inexperienced shepherd who wasn't supposed to be at the battleground to begin with. But when David saw Goliath standing up to defy God and the armies of Israel, he knew he had to act. David came from a complicated family with a scandalous past, he didn't have the right experience or training, and no one expected him to come out on top. But because David trusted in God's power, he was victorious. His story shows us that with God, there's hope for the underdogs.

Doubting Thomas had a hard time believing the unbelievable news about Jesus' resurrection. There's an important lesson for us to learn about the role doubt plays in our journey by looking at how Jesus and the rest of the disciples responded to Thomas' lingering doubt.
Hope for the Weary

Life brings people down, but Jesus gives people hope. Too many of us are constantly feeling tired, exhausted, and weary. We're stuck in the same routines day in and day out that never really bring us the meaning and satisfaction we're hoping for. Jesus has some powerful and inspiring words for those of us who are feeling weary: Come to me, and find rest for your souls.
