When the whole camp was fearful, David went to the brook. The brook represents a place of calmness, a place of meditation and contemplation. A place to shield yourself from the outside noise and commotion. God wants you to leave the arena of fear and step into the calmness of His brook.    The best thing to do when faced with Goliath is to go into contemplative meditation. In that state, the answer and the next steps will be revealed to you. Remember that you have God living inside of you and His words to you are: be still and know that I am God. Psalm 46:10. He is saying to you that it is when you are still and surrender your anxiety that you will be able to experience Him as God.  

David also took 5 stones. Why 5? Because 5 is the number of grace. Grace is the supernatural power of God to do for you what you cant do by yourself. The stones have the power of grace as enablers. What is the stone really? Jesus is the stone that pulled the head of Goliath down.  Acts 4:11 says This Jesus is ‘the stone that you, the builders, have rejected, and now he has become the cornerstone!  

1 Pet 2:7 KJ says: Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner  The bible says, this Jesus, is the stone and if you believe in Him, He is precious to you. 1 Pet 2:7 TPT says As believers you know his great worth—indeed, his preciousness is imparted to you. But for those who do not believe: The stone that the builders rejected and discarded has now become the cornerstone  

This verse means that all that Jesus is before the Father has now been transferred into our account. We stand before the Father in the “preciousness” of the Son. You are as precious to God as Jesus Christ is.  What is precious to you right now. Think of the way that thing makes you feel. The way you feel about that precious thing/person multiplied by infinity is the way God feels about you.  

Isaiah 28:16 says: So this is what the Lord GOD says: "See, I lay a stone in Zion, a tested stone, a precious cornerstone, a sure foundation; the one who believes will never be shaken.  If you believe in this Stone, called Jesus, the bible says you will never be shaken. 

So as David picked the stones, he is reminded that the stone is a metaphor for Jesus but what does Jesus bring with Him? Grace and Truth. John 1:17 says: For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ. So, as David hurled the stone out in the name of Jehovah Sabaoth, he has to remember that Jesus is with Him and He is that stone that carries the grace and power of God to bring Goliath down and with that consciousness, Goliath has no choice but to be brought down.
