June 14, 2024 – 1 Samuel 17:45-47
To David this is all about the Philistines’
defilement of David’s God. He is unwilling to tolerate such behavior. He knows
that God has sent him and that the victory will belong to God. He also knows
that his primary goal is to let all of the earth know that there is a God in
Israel and that the Lord God saves not with sword and spear. God has every
intention of handing over Goliath to the Israelites.
Do you live every day with the same amount of
confidence that David had in our God’s abilities to be victorious? Stay in God’s word and ask Him to grow your
confidence in Him. He will deliver in a mighty way.
45 Then
David said to the Philistine, “You come to me with a sword and 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. 46 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, 47 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.”
