David and his men must of been tired of getting and killing and fighting the giants, They just kept coming. Kind of like reoccurring sickness, sin, fears, anxieties.
"And it came to pass after this, that there was again a battle with the Philistines at Gob: then Sibbechai the Hushathite slew Saph, which was of the sons of the giant." 2 Samuel 21:18 Saph means to "snatch away or to wait at the threshold" Its the habitual sins that keep sneaking up on us it seems that sin or attacks keep coming when we least expect it and when we are most vulnerable.
"If you do well, will you not be accepted? And if you do not do well, sin is crouching at the door.Its desire is for you, but you must rule over it." Gen. 4:7
The same is for us, these habitual things that are crouching in and out of our lives, we must master it, or they will master us. Fear may rise when you decide to take on these giants but the beauty is we can be like the heroes of these stories overcoming the giants, by overcoming are fears.
The man who killed the giant is Sibbecai means to wrap around the trees , surround and enclose a protected pasture. Do we rely on the Lord for his help when placed with fears. Do we seek intimacy? We can snuggle up against God our Abba Father and Let him Shield us . and let the Lord say to you Delight in my presence, where you where always meant to be.
