"Rak chazaq v'ematz " Just be strong and courageous God spoke these words to Joshua as he stood before the walls of Jericho. Over three hundred years later, these very words continued to ring out across fields of battle as the Israelites and their enemies clashed in war. This battle cry echoed through the life of a young shepherd, called to defend his country, and anointed by his God to become the next king. In the face of doubt, fear, and rejection, David courageously followed God's plan for his life, overcoming betrayal and loss to become one of the greatest kings in Israelite history.
