He stoops down to choose five smooth stones from a nearby brook, and sets off to meet Goliath. Goliath came at David to fight. David's curiosity is piqued, but he's less interested in defending the reputation of the God of Israel than in his own advancement. He was angry. In response, Behnken and many others in the Southeast’s fleet have together donated tens of thousands of pounds of fish to help them. A David to industrial fishing’s Goliath, Behnken was told to give up, that the cards were stacked against her. “Five years ago I couldn’t imagine a fishery like Coho shutting down, but I no longer think it’s off the table for us.”. Goliath, who had vowed to make slaves of the Israelites, now lies facedown before this kid, this young shepherd boy. , can leak toxic waste into waterways. He names his true champion: "the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied" (v. 45). Goliath fell to the ground. The results of her underdog victory against Big Fishing are apparent in the southeast today.

Many churches use the, See music, devotionals, story cards, and more, Christian Reformed Church in North America.

In the decades since, as the global fishing industry has consolidated into fewer, larger corporate fleets and environmental changes have threatened the ocean’s resources, Alaska’s Southeastern panhandle has emerged as a bastion for sustainable, small-scale fishing.

Facing the loss of a resource that had supported generations of fishing families, Behnken and the local community set out to protect the pristine waters of Southeast Alaska from the ravages of industrial fishing and banish trawling boats that drag wide nets to indiscriminately collect fish. He also wants to get ahead; he's got ambition. Mighty King Saul is camped on one side of the Valley of Elah, with the Philistines on the other side. “Outraged.” That is how Linda Behnken, a Sitka-based fisherman and director of the Alaska Longline Fishermen’s Association, described her reaction to news of the trawler’s nets rising from the ocean full of strangled or struggling fish, leaving the area’s fishing territory depleted. And the whole army of Israel, from Saul on down to the lowliest soldier, cowers in fear. One of the Philistines was a giant. It's not all good, to be sure. David takes Goliath's enormous sword and slices off the giant's head. It is part of the “This New World” series. The valley between is a no-man's-land because the giant Goliath has challenged Israel to settle the battle one-on-one.

And customers, who appear more interested in the source of their seafood than ever before, know that their fillets were caught and cleaned by individuals invested in maintaining a healthy resource. This year, as large supply chains have sputtered, many have experienced the same COVID-19-inspired shot in the arm that has buoyed CSAs and small-scale ranchers across the country. This section of the North Pacific, which laps against the planet’s, of undisturbed coastal temperate rainforest, is home to one of the world’s most productive marine ecosystems.

Surprisingly, Goliath fell to the ground and David won a great victory on Israel.

Here in Alaska’s southeast, the economy relies primarily on fishermen who own their own small boats and troll the water with lines and tackle, rather than raking the ocean with trawling nets. Facing the loss of a resource that had supported generations of fishing families, Behnken and the local community set out to protect the pristine waters of Southeast Alaska from the ravages of industrial fishing and banish trawling boats that drag wide nets to indiscriminately collect fish. Was that an expression of faith or of desperation?

The ocean is acidifying and warming, which is drastically changing the timing and distribution of critical salmon runs. David's very lack of the typical pieces of armor makes clear the real point. The next moment, the giant's huge body lay prostrate upon the ground, his forehead …

He told them to choose a man to fight him. ."

David said he would fight the giant. He said God would help him kill Goliath. But, the Bible seems to tell us, when he's at his best David shows what we human beings can be---at least until the Son of David comes, who will give humanity a whole … Not a Dwell user yet? Alaskan’s Own has seen as much as a 30% increase in sales, with local customers buying more and new customers from across the country placing orders for the first time. It produces over 300 million pounds of seafood a year and typically leads the state in commercial salmon production by volume. They’re also ensuring their own livelihoods; business is good even amid the turmoil of COVID-19 pandemic. His brothers were angry.

1 Samuel 17:49. There was a war in the land of Israel. Now we know what this is really all about: the reputation of God's covenant name and the well being of God's people.

He was very big and strong. Just before this story begins, we learn that "the Spirit of the Lord had departed from Saul." In this wildly remote and rugged terrain, the salmon can run strong in one watershed and poorly in the next.
