Who should defy the armies of the living God?
1 Samuel 17:26,37,45,47
26 David asked the men standing near him, "What will be done for the man who kills this Philistine and removes this disgrace from Israel? Who is this uncircumcised Philistine that he should defy the armies of the living God?"
37 The LORD who delivered me from the paw of the lion and the paw of the bear will deliver me from the hand of this Philistine."
Saul said to David, "Go, and the LORD be with you."
45 David said to the Philistine, "You come against me with sword and spear and javelin, but I come against you in the name of the LORD Almighty, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied.
."
47 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, and he will give all of you into our hands."
Dear Warriors,
These are David's words when he heard the blasphemes that Goliath of Gath roared each day at the Israelites. I pray that you know that you can go and the Lord will be with you as well. The battle is the Lord's and He will give enemy into your hands.
I praise your,Lord, that the battle is always yours and only You have the power to deliver us from harm. No matter how loud the enemy roars or how scarey they seem, You are sovereign. Thank You for Your strength and wisdom that You supply to our warriors in time of need.
Love,
Mom
