David knew himself well

David knew himself very well. He knew he could fight Goliath, he knew he was going to win. It was not based on mere confidence, or just reckless, it was because he knew himself well.
Even his brothers teased him, Saul doubted him, but David persisted that he had killed lions and bears before, and now he would kill the Philistine giant ; the Lord rescued him from the lions and bears before, the lord would rescued him from the philistine giant now.
Do not be be discouraged by how other people look at you, do not be puffed up by others words either. The best one who know you is yourself. Know yourself, know who you are, know what you can do, know your limits.
Blessings.
Bible verses, 1 Samuel 17:32-37 NLT
“Don’t worry about this Philistine,” David told Saul. “I’ll go fight him!”
“Don’t be ridiculous!” Saul replied. “There’s no way you can fight this Philistine and possibly win! You’re only a boy, and he’s been a man of war since his youth.”
But David persisted. “I have been taking care of my father’s sheep and goats,” he said. “When a lion or a bear comes to steal a lamb from the flock, I go after it with a club and rescue the lamb from its mouth. If the animal turns on me, I catch it by the jaw and club it to death. I have done this to both lions and bears, and I’ll do it to this pagan Philistine, too, for he has defied the armies of the living God! The LORD who rescued me from the claws of the lion and the bear will rescue me from this Philistine!”
Saul finally consented. “All right, go ahead,” he said. “And may the LORD be with you!”
