1 Samuel 17:34-37 NIV
”But David said to Saul, “Your servant has been keeping his father’s sheep. When a lion or a bear came and carried off a sheep from the flock, I went after it, struck it and rescued the sheep from its mouth. When it turned on me, I seized it by its hair, struck it and killed it. Your servant has killed both the lion and the bear; this uncircumcised Philistine will be like one of them, because he has defied the armies of the living God. The Lord who rescued me from the paw of the lion and the paw of the bear will rescue me from the hand of this Philistine.” Saul said to David, “Go, and the Lord be with you.”
INSIGHT
–David was confident in the Lord since his youth. He did not trust in armor or weapons but strengthened himself in the Lord. He was confident that he would defeat and destroy the Philistine giant who had threatened the Israel soldiers for a long time. He wanted to show the Israel’s enemies that God is the One true God, Who enabled him to kill the lion and the bear which threatened his father’s flock. His motivation was to defend God’s name and honor. He indeed killed Goliath who threatened His Fathers flock and Isreal received victory against the Philistines. God requires that we have confidence in Him and His power. To submit our hearts and minds to Him like David who was a man after God’s own heart (1 Samuel 13:14). God desires that we win all our battles and calls us to be strong, courageous and to put all our trust in Him.
PRAYER
Dear Lord Jesus You are Good and Your mercies endures forever. You and Faithful and Holy Dear Lord Jesus. You are excellent in every aspect. You are supreme above all else. We put all our trust in You. Some trust in horses, others trust in chariot’s, but we put all our trust in You. We humbly implore You to destroy every uncircumcised Philistine giant in our lives, families, communities and nation. May You break every chain and level every mountain merciful Savior. MayYou deliver all those who are addicted to drugs, alcohol, sexual immorality, gambling and other evil vices. May You scatter every stronghold and win every battle for us. All our hope and trust is in You dear Lord Jesus now and forever. Amen
