How often do we prepare and amour ourselves, put on things made with human hands and guided by broken human hearts…then wonder why the battle is lost? What do you think would be different if we had the courage to declare as David did to Goliath, “It is His (God’s) battle, not ours. The Lord will give you to us” (1Samuel 17:46 NLT) And…then do whatever He calls upon us to do, no matter how fear or anxiety producing it becomes. .
If we wait upon the Lord and walk in His power, according to His purposes and timing, the bible tells us that all things will unfold as they should. As David said in Psalm 9:3, “My enemies turn away in retreat; they are over thrown and destroyed before you.” He shed the human armour and faced Goliath with God’s weapons. All God is waiting for is for us to call out to Him in the same way.
Each of us have Goliaths that we face every day; problems and resistance that seem insurmountable…even impossible. Many times they are. We don’t have the power or the ability to deal with them. But He does, He knows. He will. Psalm 9:9-10 NLT, “The Lord is a shelter for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble. Those who know your name trust in you, for you, O Lord, have never abandoned anyone who searches for you.
Lord, I pray that you will be a stronghold for all who have the sense put their trust in you, and that they will have the courage and wisdom to depend not on their own strength, but wholly upon you for deliverance. Amen
