HOW TO SILENCE YOUR HECKLERS

Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
Romans 8:37

1 Samuel 17 tells us how the Israelites were embroiled in conflict with the Philistines, a prominent enemy nation. The Philistines had gathered a formidable army and their champion, Goliath, stood defiantly, challenging the Israelites to send out a warrior to face him in single combat.

For forty days, Goliath taunted and mocked the Israelite soldiers. The Israelite army found themselves petrified by dread at the thought of confronting Goliath. But in the midst of this dire situation, young David, a stripling, not qualified to be in the army, arrived at the front lines and heard Goliath’s taunts echoing in the valley.

Incensed by the giant’s defiance against Israel and its God, David began to inquire about the situation and what would be done for the man who killed the Philistine champion. However, David’s inquiries were met with scepticism from his oldest brother, Eliab, who questioned his motives. “Why did you come down here?” Eliab demanded. His words dripped with contempt, suggesting that David was merely a shepherd and naive for thinking he could challenge Goliath.

Undeterred by Eliab’s reproach, David continued to make inquiries until he was brought before King Saul. There, he confidently recounted his experiences as a shepherd: “…I’ve been a shepherd, tending sheep for my father. Whenever a lion or bear came and took a lamb from the flock, I’d go after it, knock it down, and rescue the lamb. If it turned on me, I’d grab it by the throat, wring its neck, and kill it. Lion or bear, it made no difference–I killed it. And I’ll do the same to this Philistine pig who is taunting the troops of God-Alive” (1 Samuel 17:34-36 MSG).

What a response David gave! David didn’t argue with Eliab or try to prove himself. Instead, he calmly shared his testimony of God’s faithfulness. By doing so, he shifted the focus from his brother’s cynicism to God’s power working through him. Of course, David defeated Goliath, decapitated him, and walked through the streets holding the giant’s head.

Summarily, no one dared to challenge him anymore. His victory spoke louder than any words ever could. Always remember David’s example when doubters and detractors try to talk you down. Stay focused on your calling and your assignment. Trust in God’s grace and ability at work in you, and your victories will silence your hecklers.
