In Rob Bell’s new book on vocation How To Be Here he writes, “Sometimes we don’t throw ourselves into it because we believe the small things are beneath us….I often meet people who have a very high view of their talents and abilities, convinced that they are destined for something more important than whatever it is they are currently doing…If you are destined for something more, that “more” will only happen because you throw yourself into whatever it is you’re doing. This will always involve humbling yourself and doing whatever is in front of you…How does the David and Goliath story start? It starts with David bringing bread and cheese to his brother at the battle….You want to conquer giants? Bring the cheese first.”
There were lots of folks out on Saturday who were bringing bread and cheese and as a result, the giant is toppling.
