What it Takes to Be a Hero

1 Samuel 17:39-50  And David girded his sword upon his armour, and he assayed to go; for he had not proved it. And David said unto Saul, I cannot go with these; for I have not proved them. And David put them off him.  (40)  And he took his staff in his hand, and chose him five smooth stones out of the brook, and put them in a shepherd's bag which he had, even in a scrip; and his sling was in his hand: and he drew near to the Philistine.  (41)  And the Philistine came on and drew near unto David; and the man that bare the shield went before him.  (42)  And when the Philistine looked about, and saw David, he disdained him: for he was but a youth, and ruddy, and of a fair countenance.  (43)  And the Philistine said unto David, Am I a dog, that thou comest to me with staves? And the Philistine cursed David by his gods.  (44)  And the Philistine said to David, Come to me, and I will give thy flesh unto the fowls of the air, and to the beasts of the field.  (45)  Then said David to the Philistine, Thou comest to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a shield: but I come to thee in the name of the LORD of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom thou hast defied.  (46)  This day will the LORD deliver thee into mine hand; and I will smite thee, and take thine head from thee; and I will give the carcases of the host of the Philistines this day unto the fowls of the air, and to the wild beasts of the earth; that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel.  (47)  And all this assembly shall know that the LORD saveth not with sword and spear: for the battle is the LORD'S, and he will give you into our hands.  (48)  And it came to pass, when the Philistine arose, and came and drew nigh to meet David, that David hasted, and ran toward the army to meet the Philistine.  (49)  And David put his hand in his bag, and took thence a stone, and slang it, and smote the Philistine in his forehead, that the stone sunk into his forehead; and he fell upon his face to the earth.  (50)  So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and with a stone, and smote the Philistine, and slew him; but there was no sword in the hand of David.

Job 1:20-22 (1) Then Job arose, and rent his mantle, and shaved his head, and fell down upon the ground, and worshipped,  (21)  And said, Naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return thither: the LORD gave, and the LORD hath taken away; blessed be the name of the LORD.  (22)  In all this Job sinned not, nor charged God foolishly.

Acts 15:37-41  (37) And Barnabas determined to take with them John, whose surname was Mark.  (38)  But Paul thought not good to take him with them, who departed from them from Pamphylia, and went not with them to the work.  (39)  And the contention was so sharp between them, that they departed asunder one from the other: and so Barnabas took Mark, and sailed unto Cyprus;  (40)  And Paul chose Silas, and departed, being recommended by the brethren unto the grace of God.  (41)  And he went through Syria and Cilicia, confirming the churches.

Psalms 84:1-5  (1) To the chief Musician upon Gittith, A Psalm for the sons of Korah. How amiable are thy tabernacles, O LORD of hosts!  (2)  My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of the LORD: my heart and my flesh crieth out for the living God.  (3)  Yea, the sparrow hath found an house, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, even thine altars, O LORD of hosts, my King, and my God.  (4)  Blessed are they that dwell in thy house: they will be still praising thee. Selah.  (5)  Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee; in whose heart are the ways of them.

Genesis 1:26-27  (26) And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.  (27)  So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

Psalms 29:1-11  (1) A Psalm of David. Give unto the LORD, O ye mighty, give unto the LORD glory and strength.  (2)  Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name; worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness.  (3)  The voice of the LORD is upon the waters: the God of glory thundereth: the LORD is upon many waters.  (4)  The voice of the LORD is powerful; the voice of the LORD is full of majesty.  (5)  The voice of the LORD breaketh the cedars; yea, the LORD breaketh the cedars of Lebanon.  (6)  He maketh them also to skip like a calf; Lebanon and Sirion like a young unicorn.  (7)  The voice of the LORD divideth the flames of fire.  (8)  The voice of the LORD shaketh the wilderness; the LORD shaketh the wilderness of Kadesh.  (9)  The voice of the LORD maketh the hinds to calve, and discovereth the forests: and in his temple doth every one speak of his glory.  (10)  The LORD sitteth upon the flood; yea, the LORD sitteth King for ever.  (11)  The LORD will give strength unto his people; the LORD will bless his people with peace.

2 Timothy 4:1-4  (1) I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom;  (2)  Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.  (3)  For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;  (4)  And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.

The Plague in the House

Leviticus 14:33-48 & 54  And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,  (34)  When ye be come into the land of Canaan, which I give to you for a possession, and I put the plague of leprosy in a house of the land of your possession;  (35)  And he that owneth the house shall come and tell the priest, saying, It seemeth to me there is as it were a plague in the house:  (36)  Then the priest shall command that they empty the house, before the priest go into it to see the plague, that all that is in the house be not made unclean: and afterward the priest shall go in to see the house:  (37)  And he shall look on the plague, and, behold, if the plague be in the walls of the house with hollow strakes, greenish or reddish, which in sight are lower than the wall;  (38)  Then the priest shall go out of the house to the door of the house, and shut up the house seven days:  (39)  And the priest shall come again the seventh day, and shall look: and, behold, if the plague be spread in the walls of the house;  (40)  Then the priest shall command that they take away the stones in which the plague is, and they shall cast them into an unclean place without the city:  (41)  And he shall cause the house to be scraped within round about, and they shall pour out the dust that they scrape off without the city into an unclean place:  (42)  And they shall take other stones, and put them in the place of those stones; and he shall take other morter, and shall plaister the house.  (43)  And if the plague come again, and break out in the house, after that he hath taken away the stones, and after he hath scraped the house, and after it is plaistered;  (44)  Then the priest shall come and look, and, behold, if the plague be spread in the house, it is a fretting leprosy in the house: it is unclean.  (45)  And he shall break down the house, the stones of it, and the timber thereof, and all the morter of the house; and he shall carry them forth out of the city into an unclean place.  (46)  Moreover he that goeth into the house all the while that it is shut up shall be unclean until the even.  (47)  And he that lieth in the house shall wash his clothes; and he that eateth in the house shall wash his clothes.  (48)  And if the priest shall come in, and look upon it, and, behold, the plague hath not spread in the house, after the house was plaistered: then the priest shall pronounce the house clean, because the plague is healed. (54)  This is the law for all manner of plague of leprosy, and scall,
