“As for myself, I’ve been in the thick of battle before, and as you can see, I’m still alive only because of His goodness and grace, not because of great spiritual maturity on my part. I would be glad to never experience any more such attacks, but I fear we have not passed beyond all danger. However, since the lion and the bear have not yet devoured me, I hope God will also deliver us from the next uncircumcised Philistine.”
