BIBLICAL INTEGRATION

• 1 Samuel 17:49
• And David put his hand into his bag and took from it a stone and slung it, and struck the Philistine on his forehead. And the stone sank into his forehead, so that he fell on his face to the ground.

This verse shows how David hit Goliath accurately in the head with a stone.

It also shows how God gave David a talent just like he gave all of us a talent to use whether it's slinging stones or playing a sport or whatever your talent is use it to glorify God.
