1 Samuel 17:47 (NIV) “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”
- Everyone in the Israel army including King Saul and his Son Jonathan were shattered and in deep despair seeing the big giant in front of them
- Young man David stood against Goliath who was intimidating Israel Army
- In verse 47, David is proclaiming to Goliath and to all watching that God saves in His own way, and this battle would be a demonstration of God’s strength, not man’s
He could able to challenge Goliath because he knew, it’s only God who can make possible from impossible as he did in the past many times with his people. David had complete faith upon God and he did not believe on his own Wisdom and Knowledge. Instead, he surrendered all his weaknesses, negative emotions, situational pressure unto God. Because, he could discerned, only God has might and he can fight battle for his people against all odds.
In present world, we sometimes lost all our hope seeing the big challenges overcoming our free stride in life and we end-up giving up to the circumstances and always try harder to come out of such situations on our strength.
We need to come back to God, who is our Abba Father without hesitation and talk to him. He already know all our vulnerabilities and has already promised us by his word “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.” Hebrews 13:5.
We need to rest in him and allow him to take over. Then, we can see his unmerited favor manifested in our lives.
I encourage, whoever struggling in life. Please call upon the lord. He will come and hug you in his arms, wipe your tears, comfort you and take all of your pain upon him and fill you with his Shalom peace and easiness which is never ending. Hallelujah! Amen. God bless you!!
