The Israelites froze in fear
when they saw Goliath.
How in the world is it possible
To get into a combat with this huge beast of a man and still win, they thought.
It took a young shepherd boy
who showed them how.
1 samuel 17:45-48 NIV
45 David said to the Philistine, “You come against me with sword and spear and javelin, but I come against you in the name of the Lord Almighty, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied. 46 This day the Lord will deliver you into my hands, and I’ll strike you down and cut off your head. This very day I will give the carcasses of the Philistine army to the birds and the wild animals, and the whole world will know that there is a God in Israel. 47 All those gathered here will know that it is not by sword or spear that the Lord saves; for the battle is the Lord’s, and he will give all of you into our hands.”
48 As the Philistine moved closer to attack him, David ran quickly toward the battle line to meet him. 49 Reaching into his bag and taking out a stone, he slung it and struck the Philistine on the forehead. The stone sank into his forehead, and he fell facedown on the ground.
My beloved what is the battle you are facing today
What is the Goliath looming large against you
Charge against it in the name of the Lord Almighty, the God of the armies of Israel who will fight for you
And bring your adversary down.
The battle for victory is done by
Psalms 100: 4 NIV
Enter his gates with thanksgiving
and his courts with praise;
give thanks to him and praise his name.
For
Nehemiah 8:10 NIV
Do not grieve, for the joy of the Lord is your strength.”
Because
