In Part 1, we covered the role of faith and clear mindedness.

In part 2, we saw how it is best to have more than one plan, in case of inevitable problems.

Now we continue to explore how David actually engaged the giant.

When the battle began, Goliath's goading did not shake David's control.  He had used his weapon against lions and wolves and he knew his ability.  He was focused and determined.  The battle was not one he could run away from, so he attacked. 

Focus, training, and aggressiveness.  Good attributes all.  Have YOU prepared yourself for a test like this?

Where did David attack?  He attacked his enemy's uncovered forehead.  It was certainly not the easiest target.  Instead, it was the best target. His opponent, presumably too far away to launch his own attack, was felled by that perfect shot to an unprotected area.

Today, we have obvious unshielded targets - eyes, throat, groin, even shin.  We also have less obvious targets in their hands and arms, which are vulnerable when they react or strike at us.
When forced into a conflict against a larger attacker, be prepared to do what they least expect - attack.  Attack with determination and let nothing stop you.

In part 4 - finishing the fight.

Jim, in my mind this is such a key. Keeping a clear mind in the moment of crisis. Having an adaptable plan, rehearsed, seems the only way to "keep one's wits about them."
