Modern David and Goliath

 

November 20

 

This time the battlefield is downtown Montpelier, Vt. Goliath is a major ice cream maker and David is an Italian Ice vendor whose slingshot is a one page flyer protesting being barred from a festival sponsored by the giant. The flyer works. The vendor is invited to the festival. The giant is not slain, just cut down to size. I know God is smiling. I’ll bet an ice cream or a dish of Italian ice on that.

 

“All those gathered here will know that it is not by sword or spear that the Lord saves, for the battle is the Lord’s. (l Samuel 17:47 NIV)
