This day the Lord will deliver you into my hand, and I will strike you down and cut off your head. And I will give the dead bodies of the host of the Philistines this day to the birds of the air and to the wild beasts of the earth, that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel, and that all this assembly may know that the Lord saves not with sword and spear. For the battle is the Lord's, and he will give you into our hand.
As a human it’s easy to see the things of this world and be uneasy with hard situations. I have been given the opportunity to go minister in refugee camps in Northern Africa. I know God is sending me for a reason, and I’m excited, but I’m the enemy tries to discourage me telling me I can’t minister to these people. But it’s not about me, it’s about the lords work. When I let fear creak in I get crippled. Like the Israelites. Waiting, watching and rotting while their enemy laughs in their faces, shaming their people and their God. Their eyes only saw the man. But God, oh but God sees more. Like the heart of a young man after His own heart. A man who could not wait for the “men” to do something, so he let God use Him in one of the most amazing accounts in the Bible ever. “There is no fear in love, for perfect live drives out all fear” 1 John 4:18. David’s love for the Lord, and the lords love for him gave him the victory. And Gods glory was revealed to the whole land. This land that was in fear of a man, and like a good Sheppard, a boy to returned the people to the sheepfold. But most importantly David gave glory to the one that gave him the power the giant in the first place. Me I know God will give me his power an he will be glorified in His victory. Thank you lord for your encouraging words in times of need.
