STANDING TALL IN THE BATTLE

STANDING TALL IN THE BATTLE

(1 Samuel 17:45-50)





In the battle between David and Goliath, we can say that Goliath has an advantage over David. He has been a fighting man from his youth. He has the height, the armor, the sword and maybe a thousand Philistine army cheering for him. He has all the advantage yet he loses and died. Why? Because he lacked the most important shield in a battle. Goliath failed because God is not with him.



David on the other hand was just a boy with a sling and a stone. Yet, he came out and faced the giant. With much boldness he said, “You come against me with sword and spear and javelin, but I come against you in the name of the LORD ALMIGHTY.” “All those gathered here will know that it is not by sword or spear that the Lord saves; for the battle is the Lord’s….” David believed in God and he declared his victory even before the battle begun. David won because God is with him.



We all have our own giants in our lives. Problems that make our head ache and hunt us even in our dreams. Problems that never seems to leave us. Or maybe a sin that keeps us away from God. All these things may shake and break us. But fear no more! Be strong! If we believe in our hearts that Jesus will never leave us nor forsake us; then stand firm! If God is with us, who can be against us? Whatever problem or sin that we are facing right now, do not be afraid! Do not lose hope. Stand firm in your faith.



Like David, believe in Jesus and declare your victory over tribulations.



In Jesus name, be slaves of your problems and sin no more!



God is with you, let nothing move you!



God bless!
