The meaning behind the shirt
It's all about real strength
David overcame Goliath not because of who he was, but rather, who was through him! David new that God was the source of his strength, even when he had to stand up to a giant.
God is my strength and power: And He makes my way perfect.
~2 Samuel 22:33
David knew this source of power both by relationship and by practice. He knew God was his strength; even as a young man he had seen this in action. When the flock he was tending was attacked by the lion and bear, David fought back rescuing the sheep under his care.
Your servant has killed both the lion and the bear; and this uncircumcised Philistine will be like one of them, since he has taunted the armies of the living God. ~1 Samuel 17:36
Whether challenged by a lion, a bear, or even a giant, David knew how to call on God for help. This gave David confidence to stand up to Goliath while the nation around him melted in fear. So confident is David in his God that he shouts over to Goliath:
for the battle is the LORD'S and He will give you into our hands.
~1 Samuel 17:47
