I'm looking at differen 40 day experiences in scripture to see a part of the Lenten season. This is based on 1 Samuel 17:16

That giant strutted out each day
his sadistic way to play.
Morning and evening he appeared.
Each time all the people feared.

Forty days Goliath taunted
the Israelites were feeling haunted.
His egotism matched his size
unaware of his big surprise.

It only took one little stone
by a shepherd standing all alone
to bring that giant down to size
and walk away with the prize.

The forty days of Lent my friend
helps us, like David, to ascend
against the strutting giants we face
and win the battle with God’s grace.
