Bible Verse of The Day – 8-16-18

1 Samuel 17:33 (NKJV) 33 And Saul said to David, “You are not able to go against this Philistine to fight with him; for you are a youth, and he a man of war from his youth.”

Have we ever been told we can’t do something, but deep down inside we had a feeling that we could, if we were just given the chance?

There are times in our lives that we may hear this very same thing. And it is up to us to discern if what we are hearing is for us to take, or to leave and push forward anyway.

In David’s case, he was ready and prepared to do whatever it took to win. His heart was close to God. God had delivered David from lions and bears. He knew that this same God would deliver Him from a Philistine giant as well. Why?

Because David’s trust was not in himself, but rather in the name of His Lord!

1 Samuel 17:45 (NKJV) 45 Then David said to the Philistine, “You come to me with a sword, 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.

What giant are we dealing with today? We may hear that we can’t beat it. It’s too big for us. It’s there for life. But, just as David went into this battle trusting in the Lord, we too need to make that our priority.

Don’t be afraid of what we are facing. Call on the name of the Lord and trust Him.

We may be too weak on our own, but with the wisdom, strength and knowledge of God, we will be made strong!

Psalm 105:24 (NKJV) 24 He increased His people greatly, And made them stronger than their enemies.
