The Battle Belongs To the Lord

 Then all this assembly shall know that the Lord does not save with sword and spear; for the battle is the Lord’s, and He will give you into our hands - 1 Samuel 17:47.

                  David faced Goliath confidently in the battle as he knew well that the battle does not belong to him but the Lord. Goliath’s trust was in his weapons and strength. But David’s trust was on the mighty power of the Lord. Our God is a mighty warrior who is mighty in battle. Who is this King of glory? The Lord strong and mighty, The Lord mighty in battle - Psalm 24:8.

              David completely relied on God’s power and he was not fearful of Goliath’s threat. Then David said to the Philistine, “You come to me with a sword, with a spear, and with a javelin. But I come to you in the name of the Lord of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied - 1 Samuel 17:45. With God’s strength, David defeated Goliath easily. Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you - James 4:17.

            Sometimes we may need to deal with many Goliaths in our life. Let us submit ourselves to God like David as the battle is not ours but Lord’s. Do not be afraid nor dismayed because of this great multitude, for the battle is not yours, but God’s - 2 Chronicles 20:15. Let us trust God who fights all our battles mightily and gives us victory. No weapon formed against you shall prosper - Isaiah 54:17. No one can be against us as God is for us. If God is for us, who can be against us? - Romans 8:31.                                              

PRAYER: Dear Lord, We thank You for fighting all our battles and giving us victory. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.
