The Battle Is The Lord's

                For the battle is the Lord’s, and He will give you into our hands - 1 Samuel 17:47.

               Our Lord is a Mighty Warrior. Who is this King of glory? The Lord strong and mighty, The Lord mighty in battle - Psalm 24:8. David said to the Philistine with faith that he comes to him in the name of the Lord and went to fight with him with no sword in his hand. 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. The name of the Lord is a strong tower; The righteous run to it and are safe - Proverbs 18:10.

           David faced Goliath with no fear as the battle is the Lord’s. 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. The Lord is a man of war; The Lord is His name - Exodus 15:3. Do not be afraid nor dismayed because of this great multitude, for the battle is not yours, but God’s - 2 chronicles 20:15. No weapon formed against you shall prosper - Isaiah 54:17. David killed Goliath with a slihg and a stone as the Lord fought for him. So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and a stone, and struck the Philistine and killed him. But there was no sword in the hand of David - 1 Samuel 17:50.

                 Let us face this new year with no fear like David as the battle is the Lord’s.  The Lord will fight for us and give us victory. Like the Israelites let us stand still and see the salvation of the Lord in our life. Do not be afraid. Stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord, which He will accomplish for you today. For the Egyptians whom you see today, you shall see again no more forever. The Lord will fight for you, and you shall hold your peace - Exodus 14: 13,14. You shall seek them and not find them - Those who contended with you. Those who war against you shall be as nothing, as a nonexistent thing - Isaiah 42:12.                                              

PRAYER: Dear Lord, We thank You for this new year. We believe You and trust Your promises as the battle is Yours. Lead us and guide us. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
