“…All the world will
know there is a God in Israel! Everyone gathered here will know that the Lord
does not need swords or spears to save people. The battle belongs to Him ...” I
Samuel 17:46b-47 NCV
This is a story about David facing Goliath, the Philistine. David knew that this was God’s battle. David challenged Goliath and said, “You come to me using a sword and two spears. But I come to you in the name of the Lord All-Powerful, the God of the armies of Israel. You have spoken against Him. Today the Lord will hand you over to me, and I’ll kill you and cut off your head. Today I’ll feed the bodies of the Philistine soldiers to the birds of the air and the wild animals.

Then all the world will know there is a
God in Israel!
Everyone gathered here will know the Lord does not need swords or spears to
save people. The battle belongs to him, and He will hand you over to us. As
Goliath came near to attack him, David ran quickly to meet him. David took a
stone from his bag, put it into his sling, and slung it. The stone hit the Philistine
and went deep into his forehead, and Goliath fell face down on the ground (I
Samuel 17:45-49 NCV).
This was a great victory for Israel. David’ faith in God was simple. David spoke the words against Goliath. Are you facing ‘Goliath’? Is your faith simple enough to speak the word against ‘Goliath’? Goliath can represent problems, darkness, and the ailments such as sudden pain, weariness and illness, etc? David’s faith in God and his courage should give us the strength and the motivation to put on the whole armor of God so that we can stand and fight against the devil’s evil tricks.
Prayer: Thank You, heavenly Father for this story of David that inspire us and remind us that the battle belongs to You. We just need to remind ourselves that we cannot fight the battle alone without Your Presence with us. Thank You for the victory over our problems and illnesses in Jesus’ name I pray. Amen!
